Dell Wyse ThinOS Release 8.3.1 Administrator’s Guide

The 10 MB Full-Duplex option can be selected locally at the device, however, this mode may need to be negotiated through AutoDetect.

• Dynamically allocated over DHCP/BOOTP — Selecting this option enables your thin client to automatically receive information from the DHCP server. The network administrator must configure 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 specified 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 differentiate 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 specified through local configuration 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 specified, 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 defined by the IP address and the subnet mask. If DHCP is used, the address can be supplied through DHCP.

• 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 configure 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 specified 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 specific 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 configured value. If the DHCP server does not supply this value, the locally configured value is used.

• EAP Type — If you have enabled the Enable IEEEE 802.1x authentication check box, select the EAP Type option you want ( TLS, LEAPPEAP or FAST).

• TLS — If you select the TLS option, click Properties to open and configure the Authentication Properties dialog box.

  • Select the Validate Server Certificate check box because it is mandatory to validate your server certificate.
    • NOTE:

      The CA certificate must be installed on the thin client. Also note that the server certificate text field supports a maximum of approximately 127 characters, and supports multiple server names.

  • If you select the Connect to these servers check box, the box is enabled where you can enter the IP address of server.

  • Click Browse to find and select the Client Certificate file and Private Key file you want.

The CA certificate must be installed on the thin client and the server certificate is forced to be validated. When EAP-MSCCHAPV2 is selected in EAP type in the Authentication Properties dialog box (for PEEP IEEE802.1x authentication), an option to hide the domain is available for selection. Username and Password boxes are available for use, but the Domain text box is disabled.
