- Frequently asked questions
a. Ethernet Speed —Normally the default (Auto-Detect) should be selected, but another selection can be made if
automatic negotiation is not supported by your network equipment. Selections include Auto-Detect, 10 MB Half-
Duplex, 10 MB Full-Duplex, 100 MB Half-Duplex, 100 MB Full-Duplex, and 1 GB Full-Duplex.
The 10 MB Full-Duplex option can be selected locally at the device, however, this mode may need to be negotiated
through AutoDetect.
b. The IPV4 check box is selected by default. Click Properties to set various options supported by IPV4.
● Dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP — Selecting this option enables your thin 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 replaces any value entered locally on the
Options tab, however, locally entered values are 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. The network administrator
must provide 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, the thin client can only address other systems on the same subnet.
Enter the address of the router that connects the thin client to the internet. The address must exist on the same
subnet as the thin client as defined by the IP address and the subnet mask. If DHCP is used, the address can be
supplied through DHCP.
c. Select the IPV6 check box, and then click Advanced to select various IPV6 supported setting options from the available
check boxes.
