Network Configuration

Name

Default: On-board lan

This field enables you to enter a descriptive name for this LAN configuration. The name will be used to identify the network configuration to the user.

Link type

Default: autosense

This specifies the speed (10 or 100 MB) and mode (Half or Full duplex) of the network card. Selecting autosense will enable the thin client to automatically detect the best speed and mode.

Autostart

Default: Checked

This determines whether this network connection is automatically started when the thin client is powered-on or rebooted.

The IP Settings Tab Enable DHCP

Default: Checked

The setting of this option determines how the thin client obtains network configuration settings.

When DHCP is enabled, the thin client will rely on a remote DHCP configuration service to supply the required settings. These settings are then saved in the thin client. At the next client bootup, if the client cannot reach the DHCP server, the client will connect to the network using the saved network information provided that the initial lease time has not expired.

Unchecking this box will disable remote network configuration and cause the thin client to use the network settings specified in the following dialog options. You will need to ask your network administrator for the entries required.
