TotalBoot

TotalBoot is a global NC boot sequence designed for use on a variety of different servers. The NC version of the NetManager comes with TotalBoot pre-installed and pre-configured. You can simply plug an NC into the network and go. However, if you wish to boot your NC from a different type of server or even a Zip disc, the NC can be reprogrammed so that it will boot from a NetManager, Zip drive or an NT server. The NC will boot from all 3 with no further reprogramming. A TotalBoot programmed NC has a number of different modes of operation:

• Standard boot from NetManager
• Standalone boot from Zip
• Boot from NT Server
• Direct boot into webbrowser (with or without proxy). This can be done without a server present.
