Connecting to a remote server
On your initial connection to central configuration, we recommended that you connect using a wired connection plug in the
network-connected Ethernet cable to your thin client before starting the thin client to obtain the configurations desired by the
administrator. This wired connection will also provide any wireless configurations provided by the administrator through INI
files.
