6.5.1 PCoIP Management Console
The PCoIP Management Console (see Figure 15 ) has a web
interface that allows you to manage multiple devices (PCoIP zero
clients and hosts) from a central console.
From the console, you can view the status and connection infor -
mation of all PCoIP devices. You can manage devices individually
or by group. For example, you can create device groups based on
location or department.
In particular, you can assign configuration profiles to PCoIP
devices and update device firmware (for the Teradici processor).
You can also view device log files, reset devices, and control the
power state of devices.

documentation is available for download. For more

6.4.2 Low maintenance
Zero clients are extremely easy to manage and do not require
regular updates or patches.
They have no application operating system, no general purpose
CPU or RAM, no graphics processor. And they have no fan or
hard disk to fail.
Because they perform only pure image decompression, they are
future proof. A zero client never needs a new operating system
or updates for drivers, media codecs, or anti-virus signatures.
Also, a zero client does not need to know about the applications
being used (it just has to decode the pixels to display the image),
so there are no version dependencies between the zero client
and the host PC. There is no risk that future versions of an
application will render the zero client obsolete.
6.4.3 Cost savings
Zero clients have significantly lower costs than traditional PCs
and thin clients. They use less power, generate less heat, and
often have a smaller footprint.
Also, because they are simple devices, zero clients require
minimal administration and have very low management costs.
And because they are future proof, their extended life span is
assured and they rarely need replacing.

6.5 PCoIP management tools
You can interact with PCoIP hosts and zero clients through
various management tools. See Table 4 .
Management tool Description
PCoIP Management
Console
Allows you to centrally administer a
large numbers of PCoIP devices. You
can organize zero clients into groups,
define configuration profiles, and apply
configuration profiles to groups.
Administrative Web
Interface (AWI)
A web application that you can use
to remotely configure individual zero
clients and PCoIP hosts.
On Screen Display
(OSD)
A user interface on the zero client
that allows you to configure and view
information about the local client.
