Administrator Guide

a. From the Ethernet Select drop-down list, select a wired network connection.
NOTE: For Wyse 5070 Thin Client without SFP or RJ45 module, the ENET0 option is selected by default. For
Wyse 5070 thin client with SFP or RJ45 module and Wyse 5470 Thin Client that is connected to Dell WD19 docking
station, select either ENET0 or ENET1 based on your network preference.
b. From the Ethernet Speed drop-down list, select a value for the Ethernet speed. The default value is Auto-Detect. If
your network equipment does not support the automatic negotiation, select any of the following values:
● 10 MB Half-Duplex
● 10 MB Full-Duplex
● 100 MB Half-Duplex
●
100 MB Full-Duplex
● 1 GB Full-Duplex
NOTE: The 10 MB Full-Duplex value can be selected locally. However, this mode can be negotiated through
Auto-Detect.
c. Click the IPv4 button, and then click Properties to configure the following options:
● Dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP—Select this option to enable your thin client to automatically receive
information from the DHCP server. The network administrator must configure the DHCP server by using DHCP
options to provide information. Any value that is entered locally in the Options tab is replaced by the DHCP value. If
the DHCP server fails to provide replacement values, the locally entered value is used.
● Statically specified IP Address—Select this option to manually enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway.
○ IP Address—Enter 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 a different subnet, messages that are sent to that address must be
sent through the default gateway. This does not depend on the value that is 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.
d. Click the IPv6 button, and on the Properties tab, configure the following options:
NOTE:
The limitation of the dual IPv6 network is that the device cannot automatically determine which connection
to use among the two.
● Select the Dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP option to enable 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 that is entered locally in the Options tab is replaced by the DHCP value. If the
DHCP server fails to provide replacement values, the locally entered value is used.
● Select the Statically specified IP Address option to manually enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway.
○ IP Address—Enter a valid network address in the server environment. The network administrator must provide
this information.
○ Subnet Prefix Len—Enter the prefix length of the IPv6 subnet.
○ Default gateway—Use of gateways is optional. For more information, see various IPv4-supported options in this
section.
e. Select the Enable the IEEE 802.1x authentication check box, and from the EAP type drop-down list, select TLS,
LEAP, PEAP or FAST.
● TLS—Select this option, and click Properties to configure the Authentication Properties dialog box.
○ Select the Validate Server Certificate check box because it is mandatory to validate your server certificate.
NOTE:
The CA certificate must be installed on the thin client. The server certificate text field supports a
maximum of approximately 255 characters, and supports multiple server names.
○ Select the Connect to these servers check box, and enter the IP address of the server.
○ Click Browse to find and select the client certificate file and the private key file you want.
