24 Network Settings dialog
The Network Settings dialog includes four tabbed pages allowing an
administrator to configure the thin client network settings, including
defining an ezUpdate server. When a thin client security password has
been set, the password must be supplied before changes in this dialog
are effected.
The following values may be set on the Network Devices tab. If more
than one network interface is installed in your thin client appliance,
you may choose between the settings for each device on this tab.
Network Device: If more than one network interface is detected by the
thin client, each may be controlled separately by selecting from the
drop-down list (click on the down arrow to see the list). All Neoware
thin clients will have at least one network interface showing in this
field: "Built-in Ethernet (default)."
Enable Device: [Default: Selected] This checkbox allows an adminis-
trator to disable one or more installed network interfaces. When
selected, Enable Device checkbox allows the network interface show-
ing in the Network Device field to operate.
For example: When using a Wireless Ethernet device (Wi-Fi), the
built-in Ethernet adapter must be disabled to avoid conflicts during
software update operations.
Configure Using: [Default: DHCP/BOOTP] Choose from the drop-
down selection list whether to use a dynamic network addressing
scheme (DHCP or BOOTP) or a static IP address. If your network uses
DHCP or BOOTP for configuration, you may not need to make any
adjustments to network settings on the thin client appliance.
However, if you wish to manually assign the network address, select
Static
from the drop-down list (click on the down arrow in the field).
