Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)

The CT-61 supports the Intel® Preboot Execution Environment
(PXE) that is capable of booting up or executing an OS installation
through an Ethernet port. To use PXE, there must be a DHCP
server on the network with one or more servers running PXE and
MTFTP services. It could be a Windows® 2003 server running
DHCP, PXE, and MTFTP services or a dedicated DHCP server
with one or more additional servers running PXE and MTFTP ser-
vices.

To build a network environment with PXE support:

1. Setup a DHCP server with PXE tag configuration

2. Install the PXE and MTFTP services

3. Make a boot image file on the PXE server (i.e. the boot server)

4. Enable the PXE boot function on the client computer
