Initial Power-On
AX3000 Models 90 - User's Manual 27
Method 2:
If DHCP does not supply these values the thin client will try to resolve a
‘hardwired’ DNS name "axrmserv".
If the name is resolved the thin client can find the AxRM server. The name
axrmserv must be configured within DNS to resolve to the IP address of the
AxRM PC. A DNS alias can be used to allow the AxRM PC to have two
names, i.e. its original name AND axrmserv.
Method 3:
If "axrmserv" cannot be resolved, as a final attempt the thin client assumes
AxRM resides on the same PC as the DHCP server.
Method 4:
Only used when the location (IP address or name) and the TCP port of the
AxRM machine are specified within the AX3000 Set-Up. See Chapter 3.6.2.
(This is not viable for setting up brand new thin clients, as required AxRM PC
data to be already entered in the thin client setup)
The IP address of the AxRM server and the location method used is shown on
the status line:
Auto-Conf. / DHCP: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd / AxRM (1): www.xxx.yyy.zzz:nnnn.......
The thin client sends an 'auto-configuration' request to AxRM every 5 seconds.
If no response is received after 10 attempts the thin client starts the mechanism
again, i.e. from stage 1.
This loop stops when either AxRM responds or if a user presses any key on the
keyboard, causing the normal interactive quick setup to run.
2.2.4 - Stage 4: Receiving the Firmware File
A dialog box on the thin client screen provides the status. From this stage the
mechanism cannot be aborted.
Note that firmware downloading may not have been specified by AxRM, in
which case the procedure passes directly to stage 5.
