Appendix A      Central Configuration: Automating Updates and Configuration
Understanding How to Configure Your Network Services
If the zero client is configured for DHCP (new-zero client or reset zero client to default configurations) 
but DHCP is not detected on the network, the Network Setup dialog box automatically opens when the 
zero client is started. You can also open the Network Setup dialog box manually by clicking on the 
desktop background, selecting System Setup from the desktop menu, and then clicking Network. In the 
Network Setup dialog box, select the Statically specified IP Address option and configure the dialog box 
for the following information (any remaining information will be automatically populated from the INI 
files when the FTP server is contacted):
Static IP address of the zero client
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
DNS Domain Name (not necessary if DNS is not used)
DNS Server Address (not necessary if DNS is not used)
File Server IP address or DNS name of the FTP server on which the INI files reside and the FTP 
path on the server to /wnos.
PNAgent/PNLite Servers list (If PNAgent/PNLite is deployed on the network environment, enter the 
IP address or Host name with optional TCP port number of one or more PNAgent/PNLite servers 
that will provide published applications on the network)
Ethernet Speed
WINS Server Address (not necessary if WINS is not used)
Username and Password for login to the FTP server
Rapport Server Address (not necessary if Rapport server is not used)
Time Server
Tip
A wnos.ini file contains the “global” parameters you want that will affect all zero clients accessing 
the file server. A {username}.ini file contains the user-specific or “user profile” parameters you want 
that will comprise the connection profile for an individual user. For information on constructing 
these INI files, refer to the Cisco Virtual Experience Client 2112/2212 WTOS INI Files Reference 
Guide
.
After the network settings are configured, reboot the zero client before using it. A sign-on name and 
password may be required for access to the session services. If applications (published by Citrix 
PNAgent/PNLite services) are available, a Domain name must be entered or selected from the list. 
Connections or applications may start automatically if they are configured to automatically start in the 
INI files.
DHCP and Virtual Desktop Servers Available
A zero client is initially (new-zero client or reset zero client to default configurations) configured to 
obtain its IP address and the location of the Virtual Desktop server from a DHCP server. DHCP can only 
be used for the Ethernet Direct access configuration.
As a network administrator in an environment where DHCP and Virtual Desktop servers are available, 
you can set up both DHCP and Virtual Desktop network services and create “global” and “user” INI files 
(in the Virtual Desktop Broker) as described in the Cisco Virtual Experience Client 2112/2212 WTOS
