Broadcast Address: Uneditable (grayed-out) if dynamic network
addressing (DHCP/BOOTP) is selected. If needed, type a dotted-
decimal network mask number. Specify how broadcast requests are
sent from your appliance to the network. Typically, the setting is
255.255.255.255
or
trator.
Gateway: Uneditable (grayed-out) if dynamic network addressing
(DHCP/BOOTP) is selected. If your thin client accesses servers on
different networks from the one on which it is installed, type the IP
address of the router or gateway computer that connects them. Ask
your network or system administrator.
Link Speed: [Default: Auto Sense] Select from the drop-down list
the speed to be used with the network adapter listed in the Network
Device field. The default Auto Sense setting should be selected,
unless your network environment requires manually selecting speed
and duplex mode.
The Network Settings DNS tab provides the mechanism by which
you can change the thin client's network name ("hostname"), set the
default domain string, and add additional domain nameservers for
the device to use:
Hostname: [Default: NEO-<Last six digits of MAC address>] This
name is used by network devices (UNIX/Linux systems use this as
the hostname, ICA and RDP servers use this as the "client name" or
"computer name"). The default Hostname utilizes the last six digits
of the device's MAC address as the last six digits of the Hostname.
Since the serial number of each thin client appliance also ends in the
last six digits of the MAC address, the default Hostname enables
0.0.0.0
