Using the Configuration Tool to configure the workstation
12
The menu number A makes it easy to navigate through the Setup Utility. Menu
numbers that begin with 2 are unique to the initial Setup Utility. The menu title
B tells you which menu you are using.
Use the arrow keys to select an option from the list of available options C . After
you select an option, specify a value in the corresponding value field D . Certain
fields allow you to select a value by using the Page Up and Page Down keys.
Instructions and other messages ( E and F ) provide additional information.
Error messages G inform you when you need to complete a field or correct a
value before continuing.
Use the active function keys H to navigate through the Setup Utility.
To access the Setup Utility during a subsequent boot, press Esc immediately after
the following message disappears:
Hardware testing in progress . . .
If you worked only with the Simple Configuration menu during the initial boot,
then the Simple Configuration menu appears. However, if you worked with the
Advanced Configuration menu during the initial boot, then the Advanced
Configuration menu appears.
You can also configure your workstation for Dial Access. This option is available if
your client will use a modem for network connection instead of the Ethernet or
Token-Ring connection. See "PPP dialer for Thin Client Express workstations" on
page 21.
For information on using the Setup Utility to update CompactFlash cards, see
"Using the Setup Utility to recover the flash image of a workstation" on page 29.
The Configuration Tool allows you to configure the following applications on your
workstation:
v Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) Client
v ICA Remote Application Manager
v Netscape 4.5 browser (without Netscape JVM support)
v 3270 emulator to S/390
v 5250 emulator to Application System/400 (AS/400)
v VT emulator
v Advanced diagnostics
The Configuration Tool also allows you to configure the single user preferences
that are independent of the applications, such as mouse orientation. It also
provides a means to update the software on the CompactFlash card.
The first time you power on the workstation, the Configuration Tool displays
automatically after you complete the Setup Utility configurations. You must
complete the Configuration Tool configurations before you can access applications
from network servers. However, you do not need to complete the advanced
settings to create a basic, working configuration. After you have completed the
Configuration Tool, click Save and Restart to save your settings and restart the
workstation with your new configuration.
