1 -By default, all clients, that connect to the TCMS Server, can register automatically.
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.

3 -By default the thin client becomes member of the TEMP group.
5 +**Example:**
6 +``defaulttcms 192.168.1.1``

5 -To avoid unclear behaviour, the TEMP group should NEVER have any configuration.

14 + - Name: **defaulttcms**

16 +4. Complete the process by selecting {{status title="Add Host"/}}.

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.
