Restoring Factory Default Settings

If you press the “Factory Defaults” button, a confirmation box will appear asking you to confirm that

you wish to clear all configured connections and return the device to the factory default settings. This

will reset all settings, including the administration password, and reboot the device. When the device

powers up, the Setup Wizard will run.

Network-wide configuration

The WML Linux Thin Client may be remotely configured using the saved file, settings.tar. It achieves

this using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If the WML Linux Thin Client boots on a

network with DHCP and the “next_server” DHCP parameter is specified, it will try to download a file

from a web server whose address can be specified using the “next_server” DHCP parameter.

If “next_server” is specified as , for example, 192.168.0.1, then it will try to download

http://192.168.0.1/foundrylinux/settings.tar If it is successful, it will apply these settings to the WML

Linux Thin Client. If it can't download the file, startup will proceed as normal.

Note that the downloaded settings.tar should itself specify DHCP for network settings.
