2.1 WBTs
WBTs (Windows-based Terminals) are designed to connect to WTS (Windows Terminal Server) servers via RDP (Remote
Desktop Protocol), or Windows NT applications server via ICA (Independent Computing Architecture). RDP is the Windows
CE-based protocol for connecting to Windows terminal servers. ICA is a distributed presentation services protocol for
Windows NT server, allowing an application's user interface to execute on a Windows-based terminal while the application's
logic executes on the server.

3.2.1 Network Configuration
Network attached device must contain a unique network identifier. If the network is using TCP/IP as a communication
protocol, these identifiers are called IP addresses. The following series of screens will allow you to choose from two different
methods of assigning the IP addresses.
3.2.1.1 Use the IP information supplied by DHCP
If your network provides DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service and you want it to provide the terminals IP
information, leave the first option selected.
The terminal can get its IP address through a DHCP service by default. The DHCP will automatically assign an IP address
that is drawn from a pool of available IP addresses, when a terminal unit is powered on and a request is broadcast over the
network.
Use the IP information supplied by DHCP
If you need to specify static IP address for the terminal, select the second option.
The option is selected automatically if your network does not provide a DHCP service, or if the unit is not properly connected
to the network. In these cases, leave the second option selected.
IP Address
Note: If your network does not provide a DHCP service but you get the screen shown above, make sure the terminal unit is
properly connected to the network. Then restart it by cycling the power off and then on.

Subnet Mask

3.2.2 Enable/Disable Name Resolution Services
The screen shown below will appear only if you choose the Static IP Addressing method. The DHCP method will provide this
information required using a name resolution service.
Terminal servers typically support both DNS (Domain Naming Service) and WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) name
resolution services. This screen allows the terminal unit to use one or both of these resolution services. To enable DNS,
WINS, or both, check the corresponding box. In the text boxes, enter the following information as appropriate for each. Click
