Network Setup

Use the Network Setup dialog box (System Settings icon > Network Setup) to
configure thin client network settings.
TIP: If required by the operating environment, the network administrator may disable
access to this dialog box. Specifically, it cannot be accessed by Low-privileged and
Non-privileged users. For more information, see "Enabling a Disabled Network Setup
Dialog Box."
Use the following guidelines for the General tab:
•
•
Ethernet Speed - Normally the default (Auto-Detect) should be selected, but
another selection can be made if automatic negotiation is not supported by your
network equipment. Selections include Auto-Detect, 10 Mb Half-Duplex, 10 Mb
Full-Duplex, 100 Mb Half-Duplex, 100 Mb Full-Duplex.
TIP: The 10 Mb Full-Duplex option can be selected locally at the device, however,
this mode may need to be negotiated through Auto-Detect.
IPV4 - Properties command button:
Dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP - Selecting this option enables your
·
zero client to automatically receive information from the DHCP server. The
network administrator must configure the DHCP server (using DHCP options) to
provide information. Any value provided by the DHCP server will replace any
value entered locally on the Options tab, however, locally entered values will be
used if the DHCP server fails to provide replacement values.
Statically specified IP Address - Select this option to manual enter the IP
·
Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway:
IP Address - Must be a valid network address in the server environment. The
network administrator must provide this information.
Subnet Mask - Enter the value of the subnet mask. A subnet mask is used to gain
access to machines on other subnets. The subnet mask is used to differentiate
the location of other IP addresses with two choices: same subnet or other
subnet. If the location is other subnet, messages sent to that address must be
sent through the Default Gateway, whether specified through local configuration
or through DHCP. The network administrator must provide this value.
Default Gateway - Use of gateways is optional. Gateways are used to
interconnect multiple networks (routing or delivering IP packets between them).
The default gateway is used for accessing the Internet or an intranet with
multiple subnets. If no gateway is specified, the thin client can only address other
systems on the same subnet. Enter the address of the router that connects the
thin client to the Internet. The address must exist on the same subnet as the thin
client as defined by the IP address and the subnet mask. If DHCP is used, the
address can be supplied through DHCP.
