Last modified by rangee rangee on 2021/10/01 10:22

After the wireless devices, the Ethernet ports are automatically configured. The setup of the network environment is automated via DHCP.

Figure 2.5. Setup-Wizard - DHCP configuration

If it is not possible to configure the network-settings via DHCP you will be prompted for the manual setup of the network-enviroment. The IP address of the thin client will then automatically set to 169.254.0.1.
Above, the network connections are displayed whose settings you can view and edit through the configure-button.
By clicking on lan0 you can configure the Ethernet network-card according to your network settings. Basically, you can choose between the automatic assignment of the connection information via DHCP or manually define a static IP-address. To use a DHCP server, you activate the DHCP option only. Otherwise, enter the IP address of the DHCP-server and the subnet mask in the fields below. Confirm your entries here with the Apply-button.
The hostname is used by Unix / Linux systems as a hostname and in ICA- or RDP-sessions as the client name. The default hostname is 'mac-' and the respective MAC address of the device.
Rangee Linux supports NTP-time server. Once configured the Thin Clients receives the date & time by the specified server.
If you need more fonts than Rangee Linux provide, you can connect to an external font server by entering the IP address.
In this form a DNS-server and alternate DNS-server can be specified.
