3.2 Network
Before you can begin working, you need to assign an IP address to your client. here are three ways to
set network settings: DHCP server, BootP server or manually.

3.2.1 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server assigns the client a dynamic IP
address. This means that the IP address assigned to the Thin Client changes periodically (the
interval is set on the DHCP server). DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP
addresses. DHCP simplifies network administration because the server and not an
administrator assigns IP addresses – when a new Thin Client is added to the network, it
automatically receives an IP address and network settings. Due to its flexibility, most networks
use DHCP.
1. From the Setup tab, click the Network subtab.
2. Select DCHP. You can also set a time-out in seconds. The default is 20 seconds.
3. (optional) Enter a local hostname. It will be transferred to the server upon boot if
server settings permit (a hostname may not already be defined on the server).
4. Click Apply and Yes in the eLux NG Starter dialog box regarding restart.
If a server is not found within the defined time, it uses the settings saved from the previous
session.
3.2.2 Bootstrap Protocol
A Bootstrap Protocol (BootP) server assigns the client a static IP address. This means that the
IP address assigned to the Thin Client is fixed. A BootP server is more work for the
administrator, because the administrator must configure the server when a new Thin Client is
added to the network.
1. From the Setup tab, click the Network subtab.
2. Select BOOTP. The BootP standard time-out is a fixed 10 seconds.
