I went onsite to setup a couple of HP Thin Clients. I really embarrassed myself right in front of the customer as I battled for about 20 min trying to figure out how to statically assign an IP address to a Dummy terminal.
 |
The lesson learned was that when dealing with Dummy Terminals explore the product settings as much as possible. Normally on windows to assign a static IP address you would right click on Local Area Connection – go properties – select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) etc…
For some strange technical reasons on my Dummy Terminal, when I tried to right click on Local Area Connection nothing happened.
Open Network Connections – highlight Local Area Connection – on the left pane under Network Tasks go click – change settings of this connection you should be able to select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Assign Static IP Address etc…
If for some strange reasons the above steps doesn’t resolve your problem. Please feel free to contact us for further technical assist.
