dialog box by selecting it from the desktop menu. This dialog box also can be set to
open automatically on system start-up. For information on the PPPoE Manager dialog
box, refer to "Configuring PPPoE Access."
• Dialup Modem - If both the Dialup Manager and the Connect Manager open
automatically when the thin client is turned on or restarted, the thin client is configured
to access the network through a modem dial-up. A sign-on dialog box may appear
when the network connection is accomplished. DHCP cannot automatically connect
your thin client to User profiles when using dial-up access; the location of the FTP
server where the profiles reside must be entered in the Network Setup dialog box. For
information on the Dialup Manager dialog box, refer to "Configuring Dialup Modem
Access." For information on the Connect Manager, refer to "Using the Connect
Manager." For information on the Network Setup dialog box, refer to "Configuring
Network Settings."
• PPTP VPN - The PPTP Manager dialog box can be configured to open automatically
when the thin client is turned on or restarted. This facilitates connection to an
enterprise network through an ISP, the Internet, and a virtual private network (VPN)
PPTP server. If dial-up is used to contact the ISP providing access to the Internet, the
Dialup Manager and Connect Manager also open. DHCP cannot automatically connect
your thin client to User profiles when using PPTP VPN access; the location of the FTP
server where the profiles reside must be entered in the Network Setup dialog box. For
information on the PPTP Manager dialog box, refer to "Configuring PPTP VPN
Access." For information on the Dialup Manager dialog box, refer to "Configuring
Dialup Modem Access." For information on the Connect Manager, refer to "Using the
Connect Manager." For information on the Network Setup dialog box, refer to
"Configuring Network Settings."
Note
If the Network Setup dialog box initially appears, or the Connect Manager is
active when the thin client is started (or when the enterprise intranet is
accessed), network services are not fully configured. In this case sign-on is
not required and thin client network settings (and possibly connection
definitions) must be entered locally on the thin client (for example, a
Stand-alone user). For more information, refer to “Using the Connect
Manager” and "Configuring Network Settings."
If the network to which the thin client is connected does not provide FTP
services, a User profile will not be available and network addresses and
connection definitions must be entered locally on the thin client. If User
profiles (and update services) are available from an FTP server but DHCP
does not supply the location of the FTP server, you can access the profiles
by entering the location of the FTP server locally on the thin client (refer to
“Configuring Network Settings” for more details).
