PCoIP Management Console User Manual
Introduction
The Teradici PCoIP Management Console (MC) enables administrators to centrally
manage a PCoIP deployment. The MC is packaged as a VMware® virtual machine (VM)
and runs on VMware Player. A web browser is used to access and control the MC.
Administrators can use the MC to do the following:
•
Access and update the configuration of all PCoIP devices
•
Apply the same configuration data to groups of devices
•
Update device firmware
•
Reset devices
•
Control the power state of host devices
•
View status information
•
Manage the monitoring of device event logs
•
Automatically configure newly discovered devices with a profile (optionally with
firmware and OSD logo) based on device password and IP address values.
This document describes how to install and set up the PCoIP Management Console. It
also describes the features of the tool. More detailed information describing the individual
PCoIP device configuration fields is available in the PCoIP Administrative Interface User
Manual (TER0606004).
This document is broken into the following sections:
•
Section 1 provides a description of the components found in a PCoIP deployment
along with some important concepts associated with the MC
•
Section 2 describes how to install and set up the MC and migrate from an old
version of the tool to a new version
•
Section 3 details the features of the MC virtual machine
•
Section 4 discusses the web interface of the MC, this is the primary mechanism
used by administrators to manage the PCoIP devices
•
Section 5 describes how to use the MC to perform some basic tasks
Note: First time users of the MC that want to begin using the tool right away should
review section 5. This section provides information on how to start the MC, log into the
web interface, discover some devices and link a pair of Host and Zero Client devices.
After this is done the user will be able to establish a PCoIP session between the linked
Host and Zero Client devices. This section also includes recommendations the user
should follow to become familiar with the major capabilities of the MC.
