Administration
Administrators can configure PCoIP Hosts and
Portals via the Administrative Web Interface,
PCoIP Management Console or a connection
broker. The Portal can also be configured via the
local Graphical User Interface (GUI) On Screen
Display (OSD).
These tools allow administrators to assign
Host/Portal peering, view/change configuration
settings and user permissions, view session
diagnostics information, and view peripheral
information.
Each tool supports a different set of features.

Supported Web Browsers
The webpage server on PCoIP Hosts and
Portals has been tested and is compatible with
the following web browsers:
• Firefox 1.5 and 2.0
• Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0
Other browsers may also be compatible.
Administrative Web Interface IP
Address
To access the Administrative Web Interface, the
administrator must browse to the IP address of
the Host and Portal endpoints. The IP address
used depends on the method that IP addresses
are determined:
• Static IP Address: the IP address is hard
coded and must be known
• Dynamic IP Address: the IP address is
dynamically assigned by the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
The endpoint IP address must be known to
access using the Administrative Web Interface.
This can be determined from either knowledge
when configuring, or discovering via DHCP
server or a discover mechanism. Once the IP
address is determined, it can be entered into the
browser to access the Administrative Web
Interface, e.g. https://192.168.1.123.
Web Interface Security
The web interface uses HTTP over an SSL
socket (HTTPS), and cannot be accessed
without an administrative password. The HTTPS
connection is secured using a Teradici self-
signed certificate.
