Central Configuration: Automating Configurations

Step 2: Direct the Thin Client to the Server
After you set up the folder structure and populate it with the correct files, you must
then direct the thin client to the location of the server by one of the following ways:
•
DHCP (see "Using DHCP")
•
Manual direction (see "Manually Configuring the Server Location")
IMPORTANT
: Using DHCP is strongly recommended.
Using DHCP
When using DHCP to direct the thin client to the location of the server
(recommended), information about the server and root directory is obtained from the
following DHCP options:
•
161
- The server.
•
162
- Root path to the server (ftp/http/https).
·
If no root path is defined, /wyse
is assumed.
·
If a root path is defined, the additional path will be appended to the URL supplied
by option 161.
•
184
- (Optional) Server username (to server specified in option 161).
•
185
- (Optional) Server password (to server specified in option 161).
TIP
: Check-in for configuration changes is done early in the boot process. For that
reason, changes in DHCP information may not be propagated to a unit until a full boot
is completed. However, you can avoid this by forcing a renewing of the DHCP lease,
which makes sure that the unit has the latest file-server location before the next check.
Simply, right-click the
Network Manager
icon, click
Enable Networking
to disable it,
right-click the
Wireless Manager
icon, and then click
Enable Networking
to enable it
again (the DHCP lease is renewed).
TIP
: For general instructions on adding
DHCP Options #161 and #162
, refer to
Knowledge Base Solution #
16132
(go to the Knowledge Base at
http://www.wyse.com/kb
and search for

Use the guidelines shown in Table 3 when creating and adding the DHCP options you
