1 -For small environments or testing purposes, **manually adding clients** is a viable option. A client can be added using either its **IP address** or **MAC address**.
1 +The Client must get the information, which TCMS it has to use. There are three ways to distribute the information:
2 2  
3 -(% class="box warningmessage" %)
4 -(((
5 -When adding a client via its MAC address, only a **reservation** is created in the TCMS. Through this reservation, an appropriate group and software profiles can already be assigned before the client registers with the TCMS for the first time.
3 +~1. Manually

7 -However, the **TCMS server address** cannot be delivered to a client this way. This is only possible via **DHCP**, a **DNS entry**, or by **manually adding the client using its IP address**.
8 -)))
5 +In Kommbox you can set the TCMS Adress (IP or Hostname) in
6 +{{status title="KOMMBOX"/}} → {{status title="Remote Administration"/}} → {{status title="TCMS Settings"/}}

10 -First, select the **group** in the group tree to which you want to add the client (1). Then click on (% class="rangee_menuoption" %)**Add**(%%)** **in the (% class="rangee_menunode rangee_menuoption" %)Client window(%%) and choose either (% class="rangee_menuoption" %)**Client via MAC Address**(%%) or (% class="rangee_menuoption" %)**Client via IP Address**(%%) from the context menu (2).

12 +In your DHCP Server you can define TAG 210 -> String -> IP-Adress or Hostname

16 -Client **group assignment** in the TCMS is always performed based on the device’s **unique MAC address**. Changing the IP address does not affect group membership.
14 +Note: Not all DHCP Server allow custom TAG. Especially DHCP in Router have only limited configuration options.
15 +Note: If you are using Hostname, please check name resolution

18 +3. DNS (Recommended)

20 +In your DNS Server you can define defaulttcms -> IP-Adress of your TCMS
21 +The thin client will search for defaulttcms at the end of the setup wizard and when name can be reached, it will register there.
22 +Note: If you are using Hostname, please check name resolution
