    PCoIP Management Console User Manual 1.3.3 Device Discovery The MC must discover PCoIP devices before it can manage them. The MC supports discovering devices in a deployment using one or more discovery mechanisms: Recommended approaches: • Install a MC DNS SRV record. When DNS SRV record discovery is used, the PCoIP devices advertise themselves to the MC.

  • Page 19: Figure 1-3: Dns Service Configuration Menu

    PCoIP Management Console User Manual Note: If you use this approach, note that if a device has DHCP enabled, the MC loses contact with a device if its IP address changes. Should this occur, you must perform another manual discovery search to find devices that were assigned new IP addresses. See section 1.3.3.4 for more details.
