Figure 9. ENET settings

a) Ethernet Select—Allows you to select the wired network connection.

b) Ethernet Speed—The default value is Auto-Detect. If your network equipment does not support the automatic negotiation,

select any of the available options—10 MB Half-Duplex, 10 MB Full-Duplex, 100 MB Half-Duplex, 100 MB Full-Duplex, or 1

GB Full-Duplex.

The 10 MB Full-Duplex option can be selected locally. However, this mode can be negotiated through Auto-Detect.

c) The IPv4 check box is selected by default. 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.
