    NIS address-to-hostname Map Name 

    The name of the NIS map used to perform address-to-host name resolution.

    A semicolon-separated list of printers available for use by the lpd printing client. The format of each entry is printer@server.  

    Printers available from this host 

    A semicolon-separated list of the printers available from this host. This property enables administrators to add access to the printer nearest a given NC. The syntax of the printer name is the print service name, a colon, and the full name used by the print service to identify the printer. Example:djavaos.printdialog.always ShowPrinters=lpd:raw@konaprint;lpd:ps@konaprint;NIS:droid@fred

The user must then accept the new video mode by selecting YES. If they fail to select YES within a ten second period or if they select NO, the video mode reverts to its original default.  

    Frame Buffer Width 

    Width component of frame buffer resolution (specified in pixels).  

    Frame Buffer Height 

    Height component of frame buffer resolution (specified in pixels).  

    Frame Buffer Depth (optional) 

    Depth component of frame buffer resolution (specified in bits).

    Table 2-7 JavaOS General Properties

    Option 

    Description 

    JavaStation Console Hotkey  

    This property sets the keyboard hotkey that activates the JavaStation console, which displays debugging information. The value of the property is the JDK(TM) virtual keycode name for the hotkey. The following codes are valid:  

    • VK_F1

    • VK_F2

    • VK_F3

    • VK_F4

    • VK_F5

    • VK_F6

    • VK_F7

    • VK_F8

    • VK_F9

    • VK_F10

    • VK_F11

    • VK_F12

    • VK_PRINTSCREEN

    • VK_UNDEFINED (to disable the console)

    The value of this property is case-insensitive; VK_PRINTSCREEN and vk_PrInTSCreen are equivalent. The default value is VK_PRINTSCREEN. 

    Login Screen 

    If true, JavaOS displays a login screen after booting and before starting the initial application. If false, JavaOS runs the main application as soon as it boots, without displaying a login screen. This means there is no user home directory, and no system properties are read from a properties file. If you want, you can use the javaos.homedir property to specify an NFS directory to mount (see below). 

    Always Update Flash Memory 

    This property specifies that JavaOS is always or never updated in the JavaStation's flash memory, regardless of the value of the JavaOS checksum. It is useful for public kiosks or other systems where user input is not expected. 

    • If not set, the default behavior occurs: if the DHCP-supplied checksum is present and is not zero and does not match the checksum stored in flash, then an Update Flash dialog is displayed.

    • If set to true, then if the above conditions hold, no dialog is displayed and flash is updated.

    • If set to any value other than true, then regardless of checksum presence/value, flash is not updated. Note that if the DHCP checksum is not present or is zero, the flash is not updated.

    Allow Guest Login 

    If true, the login screen (if displayed at all) contains a guest login button.  

    Home Server 

    Name of the server where the Home Directory is stored.  

    Home Directory 

    This property specifies the NFS path JavaOS should mount if NFS is not used to find the path based on the user name. The NFS path is specified as hostname:/ path. This property is most often used to determine the directory to use for the properties file that is read by HotJava Browser at start-up. If the javaos.login property is set to false, javaos.homedir is not used.  

To Enter JavaOS Command Line
Note -

JavaOS commands can be entered here for all NCs (global); for a group of NCs, under Vendor Specific Options in "Adding Multiple NCs"; or for a single NC, under Vendor Specific Options in "Adding Single NC", or "To Modify a Network Computer". If the same parameter is entered globally and as a vendor specific option for an NC, the vendor specific option value of the parameter is used.

  1. On the Main Administration page, under "Network Computer Administration," click Network Computer Server.

    The Network Computer Configuration page is displayed.

  2. Under "Global Network Computer Management," click Modify Advanced Global Parameters.

    The Advanced Global Parameters page is displayed.

  3. Click Enter JavaOS Command Line.

    The JavaOS Command Line page is displayed.

  4. Enter the JavaOS command(s) you want delivered to the JavaOS during the boot sequence.

The JavaOS command line is a formatted text string containing definitions of either JavaOS or system properties. Property definitions are separated by a white space. Each property definition contains a flag, such as -d or -D, followed by the property_name=property_value. There is no white space between the flag and the property name. The JavaOS command line(s) are stored in a file that is included in the dhcptab. Thus there is no size limitation on the entry.

To Modify network parameters for all network computers on one network interface

  1. On the Main Administration page, under "Network Computer Administration," click Network Computer Server.

    The Network Computer Configuration page is displayed.

  2. Under "Global Network Computer Management," click Modify Advanced Global Parameters.

    The Advanced Global Parameters page is displayed.

  3. Click the network interface you want to modify.

  4. Complete the form using the information in the following table:

    Table 2-8 Network Parameters

    Option 

    Description 

    MTU Size (bytes) 

    The maximum transmission unit to be used by the NCs on this network.  

    Netmask 

    The netmask of the NCs. 

    Router Address(es) (optional) 

    The host address(es) of the routers to be used by the NCs. Host addresses are separated by one white space. If none are specified, JavaOS broadcasts looking for a router. By default this is set to the host address of the default system router (if configured in the system).  

    Enable Source Routing 

    This property enables or disables the source routing support in the Token-Ring driver on the NC. If this property is set to Yes, source routing support is enabled. If this property is set to No, source routing support is disabled.  

    Note -

    Modifying the global parameters on this form changes the default network parameters for all NCs connected to the Netra j server through the selected specific network interface.
