Chapter 8. Configuring the Network Station from the NS
Boot utility
This chapter contains information about using the NS Boot utility of the IBM
Network Station thin client (hereafter referred to as the Network Station). The
NS Boot utility menu allows you to View or Set configuration settings for a
particular Network Station. The primary function of the NS Boot utility is to
communicate with network servers, and download the IBM Network Station
Manager program.
You can find and correct Network Station configuration issues that affect how

IBM Network Station Manager program to restrict user privileges in the NS
Boot utility.
