For JP1/Software Distribution Client (client), you specify the setup items in the Client Setup dialog box. You also need to specify these setup items in the following cases:

• When the client facilities for JP1/Software Distribution Manager or JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system) are used.
• When Startup Kit Support Tool is used to create setup information in an installation set.

In these cases, you use the Detailed Information Setup dialog box to specify almost the same settings as in the Client Setup dialog box. However, there are some items that are not displayed in the Detailed Information Setup dialog box.

The following table lists the client setup items.
