Setting Up the Thin Client 31
Configuring Network Settings
The Network Setup dialog box allows you to configure thin client network settings
(including operation in modem dialup and PPPoE modes, as well as locations of servers
essential to thin client operation).
Note
If required by the operating environment, the network administrator may
disable access to this dialog box. Specifically, it cannot be accessed by
Low-privileged and Non-privileged users (and not until after log-on if using
dial-up or PPPoE access). In addition, if the network administrator has set
the lockdown mode by means of an entry in the user profile, both system
reset and access to this dialog box are disabled for Stand-alone users as
well. For more information about system lockdown, refer to "Understanding
System Lock-down."

Note
The 10 Mb Full-Duplex option can be selected locally at the device,
however, this mode may need to be negotiated through Auto-Detect.

network through a PPPoE connection. For more information, refer to "Configuring
PPPoE Access."
