Administrator Guide
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 specic 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 thin
client attempts to resolve the name using DNS rst and then WINS.
You can enter two WINS Server addresses (primary and secondary), separated by a semicolon, comma, or space.
c. Enter the digit multiplier of 30 seconds in the TCP Timeout box to set the time-out value of a TCP connection. The value
must be 1 or 2 which means the connection time-out 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 time-out 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.
