3 - SETTING-UP THE AX3000
This chapter describes the procedure for the TCP/IP AX3000 terminal.
3.1 - QUICK SET-UP
For a fast and reliable installation, the AX3000 provides a quick set-up
function. This Quick Set-Up box is automatically called when the AX3000 is
powered up for the first time.
Note: the quick set-up can also be accessed from the interactive set-up (select
[Configuration]→[Quick Set-up]).
The quick set-up dialog box is:
Quick set-up parameters:
- Keyboard: keyboard nationality.
- Resolution: press <Space> to select 800x600 or 1024x768.

Quick Installation
8 Installation Guide - Model 60E
- Enable DHCP: two possible values:
- yes: the DHCP protocol is run when the set-up is exited. The
DHCP function is automatically set to get both the AX3000 IP
address and other DHCP options (netmask, default router, etc).
- no: parameters are manually entered (in addition, AX3000 Name
(FQDN) is not accessible).
- AX3000 IP address: it must be entered if DHCP is disabled.
- Default router: optional router IP address.
- 1st DNS Server IP Address: optional DNS server IP address
- AX3000 Name (FQDN): this optional parameter (see appendix A.5)
allows an AX3000 to be identified by this name if both a DHCP server
and a Dynamic DNS server are available.
- Windows Host Name: if the IP address of a host is not given, this name
will be resolved by DNS (if a DNS server is given).
- Windows IP address: if this field is left blank, DNS will be used to
resolved the hostname.
- Enable: selecting an LPD printer attached to AX3000.
- Printer Name (accessible only if "Enable" is set): this is the LPD printer.
After confirmation, all the AX3000 set-up parameters are updated.
3.2 - INTERACTIVE SET-UP
All the AX3000 set-up parameters (network environment, session settings and
auxiliary port settings) can be adjusted through this interactive set-up.
Use the following keystroke combination to enter the interactive set-up:

Quick Installation
10 Installation Guide - Model 60E
- No: the AX3000 requests a non-encrypted connection.
- Bitmap Cache: enabling the bitmap cache function allows the
AX3000 to store images (icon, buttons, etc) locally. This can both
improve the AX3000 performance and decrease network traffic.
- Mouse Accelerator: if 'yes', the AX3000 speeds up the mouse
cursor.
- Port TCP: Windows connection port (default 3389).
- Connection Name: this character string identifies the AX3000
within the Windows Operating System. By default this name is
'axelxxyyzz' (where xxyyzz are the last 3 bytes of the AX3000
Ethernet MAC address).
- Username: this is the default value for the username field of the Login
screen.
- Automatic Logon: set this parameter to 'Yes' to get an automatic logon.
- Password (available only if 'Automatic Logon' is set to 'Yes'): press
<Space> to enter the password.
- Domain: this is the default value for the Windows domain field of the
Login screen.
- Auto-Run: by default the Terminal Services connection offers a Windows
desktop. To automatically launch a program set this parameter to 'Yes'
and complete the following fields.
- Command (available only if 'Auto-Run' is set to 'yes'): the program path
and file name of the program to be launched.
Example: %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe
- Working Directory (available only if 'Auto-Run' is set to 'yes'): program
working directory.
Example: D:\
3.3 - SETTING-UP THE RDP SERVER
The only requirement is setting the RDP Windows encryption level to 'Low'. By
default this level is set to 'Medium'. Run the "Terminal Services Configuration"
utility (on the 'Administrative Tools' folder) and set the 'Encryption Level' to
'Low'.
For more information about the RDP server setting, please read the AX3000
