Terminal Server will now automatically download this configuration on reboot. Remember
that whenever you change a setting on the unit, it will be overwritten the next time the unit is
rebooted unless the new configuration is saved.

Domain Name Server (DNS)

Terminal Server can be configured to take advantage of your network's Domain Name Server
(DNS). This is done from the server in the Administration Menu by keying in the IP address of
your DNS in the Name server field. Fill in the Domain name field as well.

Reassigning your Terminal Server to a New Network

If you need to attach your Terminal Server to a different network with a new IP address, it is
possible to reset it to factory default condition using the following procedure:
1. Power on the unit.
2. Wait 30 seconds.
3. Hold down the RESET button for 15 seconds.
4. Release the button.
After this is done, the unit will start sending BOOTP request packets.
This procedure is useful for factory defaulting units which cannot be reached via TCP/IP. This
includes reassigning a programmed unit to a network to which the previously assigned IP
address does not belong.

Updating Terminal Server Firmware

Firmware can be downloaded across the network using tftp protocol if the host machine and
file name are set in the boot host and boot file entries of the server menu. These entries are
checked at start up and if they have been configured, the relevant file will be downloaded.
