192 AX3000 Models 80 and 85 - User's Manual
If a DHCP (or BOOTP) server is available an IP address is given after a few seconds. This dialog
box is then cleared and the AX3000 follows its normal behavior: either the set-up idle is displayed
(no automatic session is set) or an automatic connection is opened.
Further 'lease time' re-negotiations are totally invisible to the AX3000 user. Only error messages
are displayed (see next chapter).
Note: enter the set-up to find out the AX3000 IP address or other parameters offered by the DHCP
server.
A.3.4 - Errors
a) Boot Time Failure
The AX3000 automatically searches for a DHCP server on booting. If after 30 seconds no DHCP
(or BOOTP) server answers the following dialog box is displayed:
At this stage two options are available:
- <F11>: rebooting the AX3000 to run the DHCP search again.
- <Ctrl><Alt><Esc>: entering the set-up to modify AX3000 settings.
b) Re-negotiation Failure
The lease time must be regularly re-negotiated (except if the IP address has been offered by a
BOOTP server).
If a re-negotiation fails the following dialog box is displayed:
This indicates that in two minutes the AX3000 will be no longer be permitted to use the leased IP
address and the session will be terminated
If after these two minutes, the re-negotiation has still failed, an error box is displayed and all current
sessions (telnet, tty, lpd, etc.) are closed (i.e. lost). And the thin client is shutdown.
Note: the AX3000 Trace Mode allows a trace of data exchanged between the AX3000 and the
DHCP server (see Chapter 3.1). This is useful to diagnose problems.
