Administrator Guide

2. Click the General tab and use the following guidelines:
a. To set the default gateway, select the type of network interface from the available options.
i. Single Network support— Either wireless or wired network is connected.
● ENET — Click this option, if you want set up the Ethernet Wired Network Connection.
● WLAN — Click this option, if you want set up the Wireless Network Connection.
● If the user use wireless network after selecting ENET connection or wired network after selecting WLAN
connection, then the system log "WLAN: set default gateway xx.xx.xx.xx" for first case and "ENET: set default
gateway xx.xx.xx.xx" for second case are printed to ensure that the UI setting reflects the actual usage.
● Use Static Name Servers— By default, this check box is not selected, and thin client fetches the server IP
address from DHCP. Select this check box to manually assign static IP addresses. If name servers are changed
using GUI, INI or link down/ up, then the details are displayed in Event Logs. In dynamic mode, the DNS/WINS
can be merged from Ethernet and Wireless, if network is not working.
ii. Dual Network support — Both wireless and wired networks are connected. The default gateway is determined by
the UI settings.
NOTE: The UI will not be changed automatically.
b. Enter the URL address of the DNS Domain in the DNS Domain box.
c. Enter the IP address of the DNS Server in the DNS Server box.
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 is used to make the connection. Enter the DNS
Domain and the network address of an available DNS Server. The function of the DNS Domain entry is to provide a
default suffix to be used in name resolution. The values for these two boxes may be supplied by a DHCP server. If the
DHCP server supplies these values, they replace any locally configured values. If the DHCP server does not supply these
values, the locally configured values will be used.
NOTE:
You can enter upto 16 DNS Server addresses, separated by a semicolon, comma, or space. The first address
is for the primary DNS server and the rest are secondary DNS servers or backup DNS servers.
d. Enter the IP address of the WINS Server in the WINS Server box.
Use of WINS is optional. Enter the network address of an available WINS name server. WINS 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 is used to make the connection. These entries can be supplied through DHCP, if DHCP is used. DNS
and WINS provide essentially the same function, name resolution. If both DNS and WINS are available, the zero client
attempts to resolve the name using DNS first and then WINS.
You can enter two WINS Server addresses (primary and secondary), separated by a semicolon, comma, or space.
e. Enter the digit multiplier of 30 seconds in the TCP Timeout box to set 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. If the data for
connecting to the server is not acknowledged and the connection is time out, setting the timeout period retransmits the
sent data and again tries to connect to the server till the connection is established.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
