Reset commands can be sent to both Host and Zero Client devices, while power off
commands can only be sent to Host devices.
Reset Commands
•
A PCoIP Zero Client will reset immediately when it receives a reset command.
•
A PCoIP Host device will schedule a deferred reset when it receives a reset
command. A deferred reset is a reset that occurs the next time the host
PC/Workstation is powered-off or restarted.
Power off Commands
•
Soft power off commands sent to Host PCoIP devices trigger the same action
that occurs when the user presses the host PC/Workstation power button for less
than 4 seconds. The action taken by the host is dependent on how the operating
system is configured. It may initiate a software controlled shutdown or cause the
host to enter the Standby state.
•
Hard power off commands sent to Host PCoIP devices trigger the same action
that occurs when the user presses the host PC/Workstation power button for
more than 4 seconds. This immediately shuts down the PC/Workstation by
turning off power.
Note: Host workstation must be configured to support power state transitions initiated by
the PCoIP Host card. Some systems do not support this feature or it may be optional.
Refer to your PCoIP system supplier documentation to determine if this feature is
supported.
