Quick-Start Procedure

the terminal into a basic operating mode that permits access to the full help system,
services, and upgrade software residing on designated servers on the network.

2. Connect the terminal communication interfaces.

3. Connect power (power module) and the VGA monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

6. If you want to change the terminal from local boot (default) to network boot,
press the Select button at the lower-left corner of the desktop and select
System. In the Select | System pop up menu, select Setup. This opens the
Setup window, which has a menu bar from which dialog boxes may be opened.
Click on Administration and select Boot Model. In the Boot Model dialog box
select Network Boot. Click on the Set button, then re-boot the terminal (Select
| Shutdown). The terminal is now set to boot from the network until the boot
model is changed.
A network-boot terminal must connect to the network through the network
port; a network boot can not be performed through a serial port.
A local-boot terminal does not need a communication interface to boot. A
communication interface is needed only to support the applications you are
going to use.
If the Login dialog box appears, log in using the administrator name "admin"
or "root" and the administrator password. If you do not know the
administrator password, try to log in with no password. If you can not log in
as administrator, the terminal memory may need to be re-flashed.
If Automatic Login as Guest is selected from a previous session, the Login
dialog box will not appear, and you will not be able to access the Select |
System | Setup | Administration dialog boxes. In this case, use Select |
Setup | Files | Activate Logon dialog box and enter a valid login name and
password. Then select Select | Shutdown and Login as a different user,
and log in as administrator.
