2.2.2 Locale
Set up the keyboard locale for the local device.
2.2.3 Network Configuration
Network attached device must contain a unique network identifier. If the network is using TCP/IP as a
communication protocol, these identifiers are called IP addresses. The following series of screens will
allow you to choose from two different methods of assigning the IP addresses.
2.2.3.1 Use the IP information supplied by DHCP
If your network provides DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service and you want it to provide
the terminals IP information, leave the first option selected.
The terminal can get its IP address through a DHCP service by default. The DHCP will automatically
assign an IP address that is drawn from a pool of available IP addresses, when a terminal unit is powered
on and a request is broadcast over the network.
Use the IP information supplied by DHCP. If you need to specify static IP address for the terminal, select
the second option. The option is selected automatically if your network does not provide a DHCP service,
or if the unit is not properly connected to the network. In these cases, leave the second option selected.
IP Address

8
2.2.3.2 Specify an IP address
If the method you selected on the prior screen was to enter a static IP address, the below screen will
appear. You will be required to enter the following information onto the screen.
IP address
Required for identifying this unit to the network. The format will follow the standard addressing format.
Subnet Mask
Required for designating which network the IP address is a part of.
Gateway
Optional address which identifies the machine through which a subnet communicates with another
network.
Specify an IP Address
2.2.3.3 Name Servers
The screen shown below will appear only if you choose the Static IP Addressing method. The DHCP
method will provide this information required using a name resolution service.
Terminal servers typically support both DNS (Domain Naming Service) and WINS (Windows Internet
Naming Service) name resolution services. This screen allows the terminal unit to use one or both of
these resolution services. To enable DNS, WINS, or both, check the corresponding box. In the text boxes,
enter the following information as appropriate for each. Click OK.
