You will be automatically redirect to network configuration page. Click on to the
corresponding "Not Active" link to activate the network.
You will see a page with a "Yes" and "No" button. The checkboxes in the middle suggests to enable
detect unknown Aptus hosts (client boot with Etherboot see Etherboot for more deatils)
and PXE clients by default. This way, you don't have to type in the MAC address of
individual Aptus hosts, since the server will remember unknown client MAC addresses. Click "Yes" to activate the
network adapter.
5.5.1. Enable Detect PXE Clients
Check the box "Enabled detect PXE clients" which will make Aptus to capture PXE client requests. PXE is a standard
booting protocol defined by Intel . Most of the up-to-date PC's that has an onboard ethernet adapter now equipped with
a PXE bootrom. Some PXE bootrom need to be enabled through the system BIOS before it can be used. You may also want to
change the boot order from your system BIOS menu to enable "LAN boot" or "Network boot". For detail information, please
refer to your system bios setup guide for more details.
