Legacy DHCP configuration
Preparing the DHCP server (Windows)
The 2X ThinClientServer is shipped with DHCP Helper application
as standard. This is included in both the Standard and Enterprise
editions. It is encouraged to use the bundled DHCP Helper. The
use of such a utility is sometimes not desired due to various
reasons:
• The 2X ThinClientServer was installed on the DHCP
Server/Domain Controller
• The DHCP server is already handling PXE booting for other
software in your network and the admin policy is to use the
3
rd
party software
• The PXE stack installed on the Thin Client is prior to version
2.0 or else has some incompatibilities.
It is IMPORTANT that if you are serving settings directly via your
DHCP server, that you do NOT send out conflicting settings by the
bundled ThinClientServer. It is important that you accordingly
disable the service or use the Whitelist/Blacklist functionality to
avoid conflicting multiple broadcasts which can give sporadic
errors.
If you will NOT be booting ANY thin clients over the network, you
can proceed directly to Part B.
Part A – Booting over the Network
If your thin client will be booting via PXE or Etherboot, you have to
configure your DHCP server to tell the thin clients where the TFTP
server is located in order to download 2X ThinClientOS:
1. If you are running a Windows DHCP server, go to Start >
Administrative Tools > DHCP on the DHCP server. The DHCP
configuration will start.
