Installation Planning Worksheets - Compaq t1000 - Terminal Thin Client PC Network Installation Manual

B
Installation Planning
Worksheets
The following worksheets should be filled in during the planning phase
(Chapter 1) and used during the installation phase (Chapters 2 through 6) of your
resource configuration process. The chapter corresponding to each worksheet
provides specific information about the entries in the worksheet, and should be
consulted as the worksheet is filled in.
The worksheets list the programs/components of the system required for each
network resource. You do not have to use all the resources (e.g., if you are not
going to use the network terminals to read or send e-mail (via Netscape), neither
POP3 nor SMTP needs to be configured) and not all resources have to reside on
the same server. Different resources that are used with the terminals can be
distributed on different servers in a network environment, so that one (or more)
servers can provide one set of services, and other servers can provide other
services. In smaller installations, one server can be used to provide for all network
services. In larger installations, the distribution of resources among servers can
improve network performance, significantly in some cases. In general, it is
recommended that servers reside on the same network segment as the clients they
serve. This is particularly true for servers that support swapping and program
loading.
Terminals are configured to boot locally as the default, but may boot from the
network if desired (after power-on press Ctrl+V when you hear the beep, or use
Select | System | Setup | Administration | Boot Model for a permanent change).
Some resources are needed for network boot that are not required for local boot,
and vice-versa. The worksheets apply to both boot modes of the terminal.
Note
It is suggested that you make and use photocopies of
the worksheets and retain the originals for possible
later use.
