CHAPTER 4 Network
Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the thin client for connec-
tion to your network.
Introduction
Your thin client must be assigned a unique Internet Protocol (IP)
address in order to communicate on your network. Your network
may also require other settings.
If your network uses a remote configuration service such as DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the thin client will auto-
matically configure itself for the network when you switch it on.
DHCP provides the settings that the thin client must use to commu-
nicate on the network.
If your network does not use DHCP, or you need to enter network
settings manually, use the dialogs displayed from the
Control Panel
-
Network Connections window, or the Network Settings dialog
for general settings, as described in the following sections.
