DHCP Tag 137

84 Windows CE ezUpdate
All Neoware Windows CE thin client appliances must be the
•
same model, or have exactly the same hardware/software config-
uration. For example: ezUpdate will not work properly in an
environment where some appliances are configured with ICA,
RDP, and TeemTalk, while others are configured with ICA, RDP,
and Internet Explorer.
Using ezRemote Manager, create property and/or connection
•
template files from where your appliances update themselves (to
be placed into FTP server file structure).
Using ezRemote Manager, create a config.txt file to direct your
•
appliances to the appropriate software and configuration template
files.
If you intend to use the ezUpdate automatic software update
•
mechanism, then you must download and install a Neoware Soft-
ware Windows CE update package.
On a FTP server, create a folder to store all of the ezUpdate auto-
matic update files. These files are:
properties.rgy - automatically updates appliance properties.
•
connections.rgy - automatically updates appliance connections.
•
config.txt - This file automatically updates an appliance.
•
Neoware Windows CE release - These files automatically update
•
appliance software, and must be stored in a subdirectory named
3000.
DHCP tag 137 is used to specify the FTP location (URL) of the con-
figuration and/or software update files. Neoware Windows CE-based
appliances use this tag when they are powered on (if it is provided).
The URL address will depend on the type and setup of the FTP
server format you are running:
