When a Sun Ray Client boots, a spinning wheel icon is displayed by default. To show the details of the boot process and to help identify problems, you can enable the on-screen display (OSD) icons by pressing Stop-O or Ctrl-Pause-O. This condition persists across reboots, so if you want to disable the OSD icons, you need to press Stop-O or Ctrl-Pause-O again.
OSD icons are also displayed if you simultaneously press Stop-N or Ctrl-Pause-N, if a warning or error occurs on the Sun Ray Client while it boots, or if a state change does not occur for more than ten seconds.
If you see older versions of the icons, the firmware has not been upgraded or is failing. To make sure that the Sun Ray Client is using the latest firmware, see Chapter 14, Sun Ray Client Firmware.
OSD icons are shown as rectangular, light grey icons, such as the following example:
OSD icons can display even if the client is not connected to a server, and they typically provide the following detailed information:
A unique graphic
Ethernet address
IP address of the Sun Ray Client
Status of link to Sun Ray server
IP address of authentication server
Numeric code for icon message
Alphabetic code for DHCP State
Encryption and authentication information, when appropriate
Alphabetic code for Firmware Download Error Codes
