For example, if a user does not enter the correct user name or password, or if the Caps Lock key is on, a message displays above the Connect button on this page to alert the user.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide PCoIP Management Tools About the MC The PCoIP Management Console (MC) lets you centrally manage the devices in your PCoIP deployment. It is packaged as a VMware® virtual machine (VM), running on VMware Player.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide Figure 3-1: MC Login Page 3. When you first log into the MC, a prompt appears asking you to accept the license agreement. After reading it, click Agree at this page. For subsequent logins, this prompt does not appear.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide Figure 3-2: MC Home Page Device firmware is configured on the MC by defining profiles and then applying them to groups of devices. Clicking the Profiles tab displays the Profile Management page, which lists allows you to manage the profiles in your system.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide Figure 3-3: MC Profile Management Page Once a profile has been created, you can click its Set Properties link to display the page and begin defining a device configuration for the profile. Manage Profiles MC Manage Profiles Page The figure below shows the Manage Profiles page for a profile.

PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide Info: The pages listed this menu let you view firmware information and the devices currently attached to the device. Upload: The pages under this menu let you upload a new firmware version, an OSD logo, and your certificates to the device.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide PCoIP session is not in progress. The only exception to this is when the client is configured for a managed startup or auto-reconnect. Figure 3-12: OSD Main Window An Options menu in the upper left-hand corner lets users access various sub-menus for configuring the client and viewing information about it.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide Figure 3-13: OSD Direct to Host Connect Window While the network connection is initializing, various status messages are displayed above the button to indicate the progress, such as the message shown below. Figure 3-14: OSD Connection Status If problems are experienced during startup—e.g., if the connection cannot be made or a DHCP lease fails—other messages display in this area to indicate the nature of the problem.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide Figure 3-15: OSD View Connection Server Connect Window Note: you can change the logo that appears above the Connect button by uploading a replacement image using the menu from a client's AWI. Upload > OSD Logo While the connection is initializing, status messages may also display above the Connect button to inform users of the connection progress or to alert them to a problem.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide Figure 3-17: OSD View Connection Server Certificate Warning If the user clicks Continue at this warning, the session will not be secure. This is indicated by the warning icon on the lock in the upper left of the window and also by the red "https" with strikethrough formatting, which tells users that the secure HTTPS protocol will not be used for the connection.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide Figure 3-19: OSD VMware View Page Using the AWI, you can then enable VCS Certificate Check Mode Lockout from the Session – View Connection Server page to prevent users from changing this setting. See also: For information about how to upload certificates to a profile using the MC, see Certificate Store...
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide For Tera2 clients, users can also disconnect from a virtual desktop session and return to the OSD by pressing the device's connect/disconnect button. However, if a user is in a session with a host card in a remote workstation, pressing this button will pop up the Zero Client Control Panel overlay, shown in the figure below, which provides options to disconnect from the session, to power off the remote workstation, or to cancel the operation.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide 3.14 Overlay Windows Overlay windows occasionally appear on top of the user's PCoIP session to display pertinent information when the status changes—e.g., when the network connection is lost or an unauthorized USB device is plugged in. These overlays show network, USB device, and monitor statuses as icons and text, as shown in the examples below.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide The lost network connection message appears until the network is restored or the timeout expires (and the PCoIP session ends). Note: It is not recommended to use this notification message when using PCoIP devices with virtual desktops.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide Figure 3-27: USB Over Current Notice Overlay 3.14.8 USB Device Not Supported Behind a High-speed Hub Overlay Some USB devices cannot be connected through a high speed (USB 2.0) hub, and should instead be connected directly to the zero client or through a full speed (USB 1.1) hub. If such a device is connected to the zero client through a high speed hub, the following overlay appears with the message "USB device not supported behind high speed hub."...
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide When a video source to the host does not correspond to the video port used on the client, the following overlay appears with the message "Source signal on other port." This helps you debug a situation where the video source is connected to the wrong port. To correct this, swap the video ports at the host or the client.
PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide PCoIP Deployment Scenarios PCoIP Host Cards and Zero Clients The following table lists the PCoIP host cards and zero clients you can deploy in your PCoIP network. It also lists the set of display resolutions each device supports. Note: The processor name refers to the chipset used in the PCoIP device.
