Administrator Guide

• Dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP — Selecting this option enables your thin client to automatically receive
information from the DHCP server. The network administrator must congure the DHCP server using DHCP options to
provide information. Any value provided by the DHCP server replaces any value entered locally on the Options tab, however,
locally entered values are used if the DHCP server fails to provide replacement values.
• Statically specied IP Address — Select this option to manual enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway:
– IP Address — Must be 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 dierentiate the location of other IP addresses with two choices: same subnet or
other subnet. If the location is other subnet, messages sent to that address must be sent through the Default Gateway,
whether specied through local conguration 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 specied, 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 dened by the IP address and the subnet mask. If DHCP is used, the address can be supplied through DHCP.
c Select the IPV6 check box, and then click Advanced to select various IPV6 supported setting options from the available check
boxes.
The following check boxes are displayed in the IPv6 Advanced Settings dialog box:
• Allow IPv4 to be disabled when IPv6 is enabled
• Prefer IPv4 over IPv6 when both are available
• Disable Stateless Address Auto conguration (SLAAC)
• Disable Duplicate Address Detection (DAD)
• Disable ICMPv6 Echo Reply
• Disable ICMPv6 Redirect Support
• Use Standard DHCPv6 Timers
Click properties and use the following guidelines:
• Wait DHCP — Selecting this option enables your thin client to wait for IPV6 DHCP before the sign-in, if not selected the
system will only wait for IPV4 DHCP if enabled.
• Dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP — Selecting this option enables your thin client to automatically receive
information from the DHCP server. The network administrator must congure the DHCP server (using DHCP options) to
provide information. Any value provided by the DHCP server replaces any value entered locally on the Options tab, however,
locally entered values are used if the DHCP server fails to provide replacement values.
• Statically specied IP Address — Select this option to manually enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
– IP Address — Must be a valid network address in the server environment. The network administrator must provide this
information.
–
Subnet Mask — Enter the value of the subnet mask. For more information, see various options supported by IPV4 in
this section.
– Default Gateway — Use of gateways is optional. For more information, see various options supported by IPV4 in this
section.
• DNS Servers — Use of DNS is optional. DNS allows you to specify remote systems by their host names rather than IP
addresses. If a specic IP address (instead of a name) is entered for a connection, it rather than DNS is used to make the
connection. Enter the network address of an available DNS Server. The value for this box may be supplied by a DHCP server.
If the DHCP server supplies this value, it replaces any locally congured value. If the DHCP server does not supply this value,
the locally congured value is used.
d Select the check box to enable IEEE802.1x authentication.
