Networks
Using Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP)
A thin client is congured to obtain its IP address and network congurations from a DHCP server. The DHCP server provides the IP
address or DNS name of the FTP server and the FTP root-path location of the software in Microsoft.msi. This can be used to access
the FTP server by using the DHCP upgrade process.
It is recommended that you congure and upgrade thin clients by using DHCP, as it saves time and eort to complete the processes locally
on multiple thin clients. If a DHCP server is not available, xed IP addresses can be assigned, which must be entered locally for each thin
client.
A DHCP server provides the IP address of the WDM server. For more information on remote administration, see WDM software for remote
administration
Using Domain Name System (DNS)
Thin client devices accept valid DNS names registered on a DNS server that is available to the enterprise intranet. The thin client device
sends a query to the DNS server on the network to resolve hostnames into IP addresses. DNS allows hosts to be accessed by using the
registered DNS names.
The Windows DNS server in Windows 2000 and later versions includes Dynamic DNS (DDNS), and each server registers dynamically with
the Windows DNS server. For information on DHCP entry of DNS domain and server location, see Using Dynamic Host Conguration
Protocol (DHCP).
