Requirements

Network

• DHCP server to assign IP addresses to thin clients
• Internet connection to install client packages

Server

Requirements:

• 1 GB of free RAM
• 10 GB of free hard disk space
• 64-bit OS

Required open ports:

Ensure these ports are available.

To use fixed ports with NFS and enhance network security, set the port for the mount daemon mountd . Edit the service.xml in the openthinclient-manager directory <Manager-Home>/nfs/service.xmlby setting the <mountdPort> value of 0 (for dynamic assignment) to a fixed value. This configuration causes NFS to use this port for mount operations, allowing the firewall to remain open only for this single port.
