Select the protocol your managed computers can use to connect to the Deployment
Server.
Connect directly to Deployment Server. Installs the PXE Server using the Intel Pre-
boot eXecution Environment (for PXE-compliant computers only). You can use this
without PXE for faster access, as it goes directly to the IP address without searching.
If managed computers are on a different segment or if you are using the PXE Server
with an UNDI driver, click Connect directly to Deployment Server and enter the IP
address of the Deployment Server that the managed computers can connect to. Do not
change the port number unless the default is already being used.
Note
If you change the port number, you must change the client configurations.
Discover Deployment Server using TCP/IP multicast. Lets the managed
computers connect to any Deployment Server. To use multicasting and connect to a
specific Deployment Server, enter the name of the Deployment Server computer.
Multicasting cannot be used with the UNDI driver. If you want to use different drivers on
the PXE Server, you can create multiple PXE boot files after installing.
