3.1.1 - General Parameters
To set the AX3000 interface and the thin client identification select the [Configuration]-[Network]-
[General Parameters] menu. The dialog box below is displayed:
a) The Thin client Name
A thin client name is mandatory
– though need not be used. By default the thin client name is set to
'axel' suffixed by the last part of the MAC Ethernet address. For example 'axel200002'. This
ensures all thin clients have a unique default name.
Note: when the DHCP 'Terminal Name' option ' is selected, this field can't be changed.
The same name is given to the default connection name for RDP or ICA connections, though this
can be changed.
If the thin client name is to be used as a DNS name (i.e. registered to a DNS server) an extension
is required. This extension is called "DNS domain". For example 'paris.axel.fr'.
