CHAPTER 2
Configuring Your
Network Settings
This chapter describes how to initially configure your thin client
for your network.
Selecting the network settings
Do you need to
configure?
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 the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or the Bootstrap
Protocol (BOOTP), the thin client will configure itself. In that case,
all you do is turn on the thin client. Your network or system admin-
istrator will tell you if your network uses DHCP or BOOTP (in
which case you may not need to configure network settings) or if
you need to manually enter network settings.
Accessing network
settings
To configure your thin client’s network settings, select
Settings |
Appliance Properties | Network
from the ezConnect (Neoware
Connection Manager) menu bar or press the
F2
key.
FYI
DHCP and BOOTP auto-
matically supply the IP
address and other set-
ting for your appliance
when it starts up.
