Tobias Wintrich 19.1 1 A thin client can be automatically added to a TCMS through a DNS entry.
2 The thin client sends a ping request to **"defaulttcms"** or **"defaulttcms.%domain%"** (e.g., *defaulttcms.domain.local*) and then receives the IP address of your TCMS.
3 To enable this, create a DNS entry on your DNS server with the name **"defaulttcms"** and the IP address of your TCMS.

Tobias Wintrich 19.1 22 In the factory default state, the required TCMS settings are automatically configured by the setup wizard.
23 During installation, the setup wizard attempts to resolve the DNS entry **"defaulttcms"**.
24 If this lookup is successful, the thin client automatically registers with the TCMS.
