Buddy Update
Under
Buddy Update
, you can specify your thin client as an update server for other IGEL thin clients. If you
use a thin client as an update server, only the FTP protocol can be used to update the firmware. A number
of thin clients can be set up as
buddy update
servers within the network.
Thin clients without a specified update server search for available servers during the update. The first
update server found then provides the update.

Remote management
Menu path:
Setup > System > Remote management
This Setup page contains settings for managing the thin client remotely via
Universal Management Suite
(UMS).
•
Enable Remote Management
: If this option is enabled, the thin client can be managed via UMS.
•
Universal Management Suite
: If this client is already registered with a UMS, the UMS server is found in
the list. Alternatively, enter a host name or IP address in
UMS Server
along with a
Port Number
in
order to make the client register with the specified UMS server.
The list may contain more than one UMS server. If the client cannot reach a UMS Server under
the name
igelrmserver
and the DHCP option 244 is not set either, the client will try the list
entries until it reaches a UMS server.
•
Enable User Information:
If this option is enabled, the user will be informed via a message window
when the thin client receives new settings or a shutdown command.
•
User information Message Timeout
: Time in seconds for which the user message window is displayed.
•
Structural directory tag
: This tag makes the UMS server put the client into the specified thin client
directory.
•
UMS Registering
: This button opens the
UMS Registering
(page 74) utility from the System menu.

The
setup.ini
file will then be administered manually without the graphical setup, e.g. of the IGEL
UMS.
Two transfer protocols are available – TFTP and FTP. The corresponding DHCP tags are:
