1 +A thin client can be automatically added to a TCMS through a DNS entry.
2 +The thin client sends a ping request to **"defaulttcms"** or **"defaulttcms.%domain%"** (e.g., *defaulttcms.domain.local*) and then receives the IP address of your TCMS.
3 +To enable this, create a DNS entry on your DNS server with the name **"defaulttcms"** and the IP address of your TCMS.
4 +
5 +**Example:**
6 +``defaulttcms 192.168.1.1``
7 +
8 +## Configuration in a Windows Domain##

10 +1. Open the DNS Manager on your DNS server.
11 +2. Navigate to
12 + {{status title="DNS"/}} → {{status title="DC"/}} → {{status title="Forward Lookup Zones"/}} → *YOUR-DOMAIN* (e.g., *windows.local*).
13 +3. Select {{status title="New Host"/}} and enter the following values:
14 + - Name: **defaulttcms**
15 + - IP address: **IP address of your TCMS** (e.g., *192.168.1.1*)
16 +4. Complete the process by selecting {{status title="Add Host"/}}.

20 +## Behavior on the Thin Client##
21 +
22 +In the factory default state, the required TCMS settings are automatically configured by the setup wizard.
23 +During installation, the setup wizard attempts to resolve the DNS entry **"defaulttcms"**.
24 +If this lookup is successful, the thin client automatically registers with the TCMS.
