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.
1 +By default, all clients, that connect to the TCMS Server, can register automatically.

3 +By default the thin client becomes member of the TEMP group.

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.
12 +In this case your thin client will register, but its state will show a red cross and it will not get configuration from TCMS untill administrator will "Accept certificate" with right mouse click menu.(5)
