MAC Filter Tab

Deployment Solution
Engine port: This option defines which port the PXE Servers use to communicate with
the Deployment Server Engine, which manages the Deployment Database, sends job
commands to the Deployment Agent, and more.
Data Manager port: This is the port that PXE Manager uses to communicate with the
Deployment Server.
Default boot option: This is the default boot menu item that Deployment Server uses
to execute jobs.
Disable Initial Deployment: By default, this option is enabled. Clear the check box if
you do not want to use Initial Deployment.
Initial Deploy boot option: The boot menu item that was set as the default pre-boot
operating system at install time is selected. If no boot menu items were created, the
first boot menu item (shared) is selected. Go to the Boot Menu tab and create a Shared
Configuration if there are no items in the list. See
When the boot menu appears on client computers, the default boot option you select for
Initial Deployment moves to the top of the boot menu, even if the boot option is not at
the top of the list on the Boot Menu Options for PXE Server: Shared Configuration
page.
Execute immediately: Select this option for Initial Deployment to run on new client
computers without any user interaction after a PXE boot. From the Deployment Console,
in the Initial Deployment Advanced Properties page, there is a default time-out
value of 5 minutes. If you select this option, PXE responds immediately, but Initial
Deployment still waits for 5 minutes before running.
Wait indefinitely: Select this option so that a user must press <F8> to start the Initial
deployment job.
Use default timeout: Select this option to use the time-out value set in the Initial
Deployment Advanced Properties page from the Deployment Console.
Timeout: Select this option to enter a time-out value. The boot menu appears on new
client computers for the length of time you set before booting to Initial Deployment.
This feature lets you control the service load of the PXE Servers by creating a list of MAC
addresses you want to be serviced by either a specific PXE Server or by all PXE Servers
associated to a Deployment Server. You can also select to not service the list of client
computers.
Example: If you had three PXE Servers that Deployment Server integrated with and you
were setting properties for a Shared Configuration, you could create a list of MAC
addresses, select Service listed addresses so that all three PXE Servers would
respond to the listed client computers. You could also create a list of MAC addresses for
a specific PXE Server configuration and select Do NOT service addresses so that the
PXE Server you selected would not download a boot menu to any of the client computers
listed. This lets you select the PXE Servers that provide services for specific client
computers across the network.

Use Shared properties: Select this option when you set the properties for a Shared
Configuration. You cannot change this selection on the other pages if you are setting
properties for the Shared Configuration.
