Configuring Connection Settings Locally
IPV6 - Advanced command button: Allows you to select various setting options
•
supported by IPV6.
IPV6 - Properties command button:
•
Wait DHCP - Selecting this option enables your zero client to wait for IPV6 DHCP
·
before signing on (if not selected the system will only wait for IPV4 DHCP if
enabled).
Dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP - Selecting this option enables your
·
zero client to automatically receive information from the DHCP server. The
network administrator must configure the DHCP server (using DHCP options) to
provide information. Any value provided by the DHCP server will replace any
value entered locally on the Options tab, however, locally entered values will be
used if the DHCP server fails to provide replacement values.
Statically specified IP Address - Select this option to manual enter the IP
·
Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway:
IP Address - Must be a valid network address in the server environment. The
network administrator must provide this information.
Subnet Mask - Enter the value of the subnet mask. A subnet mask is used to gain
access to machines on other subnets. The subnet mask is used to differentiate
the location of other IP addresses with two choices: same subnet or other
subnet. If the location is other subnet, messages sent to that address must be
sent through the Default Gateway, whether specified through local configuration
or through DHCP. Ask the network administrator for this value.
Default Gateway - Use of gateways is optional. Gateways are used to
interconnect multiple networks (routing or delivering IP packets between them).
The default gateway is used for accessing the Internet or an intranet with
multiple subnets. If no gateway is specified, your zero client can only address
other systems on the same subnet. Enter the address of the router that connects
your zero client to the Internet. The address must exist on the same subnet as
your zero client as defined by the IP address and the subnet mask. If DHCP is
used, the address can be supplied through DHCP.
DNS Servers - Use of DNS is optional. DNS allows you to specify remote systems
·
by their host names rather than IP addresses. If a specific IP address (instead of a
name) is entered for a connection, it rather than DNS will be used to make the
connection. Enter the network address of an available DNS Server. The value for
this box may be supplied by a DHCP server. If the DHCP server supplies this
value, it will replace any locally configured value. If the DHCP server does not
supply this value, the locally configured value will be used.
TIP: You may enter two DNS Server addresses, separated by a semicolon,
comma, or space. The first address is for the primary DNS server and the second
is for a backup DNS server.
Tcp Timeout - Enter the number of 30 seconds for the timeout value of a TCP
•
connection. The value must be 1 or 2 which means the connection timeout value is
from 1x30= 30 seconds to 2x30= 60 seconds.
Show WAN configuration on System Settings - Allows you to show the WAN
•
configuration on the System Settings submenu.
