Interactive Set-Up
AX3000 Models 80 and 85 - User's Manual 27
- The 802.1X security.
a) Static or Dynamic IP Address
The DHCP protocol allows the thin client’s IP address (and other parameters) to be obtained at the
boot time.
When "Enable DHCP" is set to "Yes", the IP Address' field is not available and the DHCP settings
are set through the "DHCP Parameters" option. Press <Space> to display the dialog box:
The "DHCP Option List" allows certain parameters to be automatically assigned by DHCP.
Other parameters are:
- Lease Time (minutes): lease time value requested by the AX3000 from the DHCP server.
Depending on the DHCP server settings this parameter may be ignored. The AX3000
automatically renews the lease when it expires.
- Free IP address when shutdown: by default when the thin client is shutdown a command
to release the IP address is sent to the DHCP server.
- Client Identifier: allows the thin client to be identified not only by the Ethernet address
(useful to control IP address assignment).
- User Class Identifier: allows the DHCP server to assign settings in regards of a class of
device.
- Check IP Address: the AX3000 checks its allocated IP address is not already in use.
b) DNS Protocol
To resolve a name, the AX3000 sends DNS requests to a DNS server. The IP address of this DNS
server must be known. The AX3000 set-up procedure allows two DNS servers to be entered.
Note: if 'DNS Servers' is selected the "DHCP Option List" these two parameters are supplied by
DHCP and cannot be accessed here.
