5.4 Establish a new PCoIP session
After setting up your zero client, you need to establish a PCoIP
session to connect the zero client to a remote PCoIP host (or
virtual desktop). These connection methods are summarized
below. For each method, you can use any of the management
tools to establish the connection.
■
Direct connections
To connect a zero client directly to a specific PCoIP host card,
use the
Direct to Host
session connection type. You need to
provide the IP address (or DNS name) for the PCoIP host. For
this method, you must also configure a
Direct from Client
session connection type on the host.
You can also configure the Enable Auto-Reconnect setting to
remember the last connected PCoIP host. This allows the
DXZC-AM to reconnect to the host when you start a new
session.
This connection method is not practical for very large PCoIP
deployments.
■
Using SLP Discovery
If your zero clients and PCoIP hosts reside on the same
subnet, you can use the
Direct to Host + SLP
session
connection type to discover available PCoIP hosts on the
subnet. The zero client On Screen Display lists the first 10
hosts discovered. Users can then choose the one they want
to connect to.
The Discovery connection method also supports the Enable
Auto-Reconnect setting. See the ‘Static connections’
description for details.
You must also configure a
Direct from Client
session
connection type on the host.
This connection method is mainly used for testing and
evaluation purposes.
Note:
See
for more information about using
the SLP Discovery connection method.
■
Using a connection broker
A third party connection broker is a resource management
application that dynamically assigns zero clients to host PCs
based on the identity of the user establishing a connection
from the zero client. Use the
Connection Management
Interface
session connection type on both the zero client
and PCoIP host. You need to provide the IP address (or DNS
name) for the third party connection broker.
Note:
See
for more information about third
party connection brokers.

■
Connecting zero clients to a virtual desktop
You can configure zero clients to use PCoIP to connect to a
virtual desktop in a VMware View environment.
If you want users to log on manually, use the
View
Connection Server
session connection type. To set up
automatic logons, use the
View Connection Auto-
Logon
session connection type. In both cases, provide the IP
address (or DNS name) of the VMware View Connection
Server. For automatic logons, you must also provide the
user’s logon credentials.
For full details about PCoIP connection methods, see ‘Session
Connection Types’ in the Teradici

Administrator Guide

Teradici Support website.
