Each entry with optional port number is specified as Name-or-IP: port, where: port is optional. If not specified, port 80 is
used. Locations can be supplied through user profiles if user profiles are used. The Time Servers provide the thin client
time based on the settings of time zone and daylight saving information. If DHCP is used, locations can be supplied
through DHCP.

Setting the custom information
Use the Custom Info tab to enter configuration strings for use by WDM software. The configuration strings can contain
information about the location, user, administrator, and so on.

The System preference dialog box is displayed.

information about the location, user, administrator, and so on. Clicking OK transfers the custom field information you

information on using Custom Fields and using WDM for remote administration and upgrading thin client software, see WDM
