Zero Client Overview
ClearCube
®
C7424 Zero Clients connect to supported ClearCube
PC blades and virtual machines containing V5
x
20 Dual Host cards
to provide the following:
• 10/100 Mbps SC fiber
• Integrated smart card reader
• Support for up to two independently-configurable monitors
• PC–over–IP™ (PCoIP™) processors, delivering PC video and
audio over an IP network
• Three USB ports
• HD audio in (front) and HD 4.0 audio out
ClearCube PC blades are typically located in remote data centers.
Each blade user has a C7424 Zero Client on their desk, which they
use to connect to a remote blade over an IP network (consisting of
fiber and Ethernet segments). Users connect monitors, pointing
devices, and other peripherals to their client, enabling them to work
on the blade as if it was a local PC. The connection between the zero
client and the blade is over PCoIP protocol. Inside the blade, a
V5
x
20 Dual Host card manages the PCoIP session on the blade.

Ensuring Client & Host Firmware Compatibility
ClearCube PCoIP zero clients and host cards must use identical
firmware versions. If you are upgrading portions of existing
ClearCube deployments, ensure that all PCoIP devices use the
same firmware version. Additionally, devices must use firmware
version 3.0 or higher in a VMware
®
View environment. See

NOTE:
You can enable a zero client to receive an IP address from
a DHCP server. If the server does not assign an address
within a designated timeout period, the zero client uses a
default, fallback IP address. If you use these default
addresses and have DHCP enabled, you must wait 120
seconds before you can connect to a host. If you use the
direct connect methodology in your environment,
ClearCube recommends disabling the client's DHCP
setting to eliminate the need to wait 120 seconds before
connecting. See
