3 Setting Client Properties
You can optimize Novell
®
Client
TM
for your network by using property pages
to configure installation options and protocol support, optimize performance,
configure optional client parameters, and set a variety of other parameters.
By default, the client is configured for high speed with moderate use of
memory and data protection. You can adjust the client to optimize its
performance in any of these areas. However, optimizing the client in one area
might lessen performance in other areas.
HINT: A new Advanced Menu Settings tab has been added to the Novell Client
Property Page. This tab lets you set menu options and control settings such as the
ability to send messages to the server console or how Network Neighborhood is
configured. A short description of each setting is available in the Description field
when you select the option.
Also, additional information on the Advanced Settings is available in an April 1999
AppNotes
®
article (http://developer.novell.com/research/appnotes/1999/april/03/
index.htm).
You can set properties for a single workstation, or you can set them for
multiple workstations simultaneously.
Setting Properties before Installation
Use Novell Client Install Manager to set properties for one or more
workstations before an unattended install. This method saves you from having
to set each workstation individually.
1 Start the Novell Client Install Manager.
Novell Client Install Manager is located on the CD-ROM or in the Novell
Client download in the WIN95\IBM_language >ADMIN directory.
2 Click File > New File > your operating system.
