3 Overlay
Windows
Overlay windows provide a mechanism for displaying information to the user while a
PCoIP session is in progress. These windows are occasionally displayed on top of the
user’s remote session.
Status overlay windows are used to show network, USB device status and monitor status
in the form of icons and text. The overlays have simple animation and are displayed
when the status changes (i.e., the network connection is lost or an unauthorized USB
device is plugged in).
3.1
Network Connection Lost Overlay
Loss of network connectivity is indicated using an overlay with the message “Network
connection lost” over the most recent screen data. An example is shown in Figure 3-1.

Network connection lost
The lost network connection message will persist until the network is restored or the
timeout expires (and the PCoIP session ends).
3.2
USB Device Not Authorized Overlay
If an unauthorized USB device is connected, an overlay with the message “USB device
not authorized” is displayed. An example is shown in Figure 3-2.

The overlay will be displayed for approximately 5 seconds.
3.3
Half-Duplex Overlay
PCoIP Technology is not compatible with Half-Duplex network connections. When a half-
duplex connection is detected, an overlay with the message “Half-duplex network
connection” is displayed. An example is shown in Figure 3-3.
