1.11.2 Specify the connection broker
You can use any of the available management tools (see section
1.12 ) to specify the connection broker:
• you must provide the IP address or DNS name of the
connection broker;
• you must also specify the Connection Management
Interface connection type for the PCoIP session.
1.11.3 Using the connection broker
Instructions for using a connection broker to connect your zero
clients to hosts are available in the Teradici.PCoIP®.Zero.Client.
and.Host.Administrator.Guide (available to download from
techsupport.teradici.com ).
Note: For further information about using connection brokers,
contact Amulet Hotkey Technical Support. See also the
Knowledge Base Article Can.I.use.a.connection.broker.with.
PCoIP.technology?.(15134-24) on the Teradici website.
1.12 Zero client management tools
You can interact with PCoIP zero clients through various
management tools. See Table 2 .
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.

Note:
For full details about these management tools, see
the Teradici.PCoIP®.Zero.Client.and.Host.Administrator.Guide
(available to download from the Teradici website).
1.12.1 PCoIP Management Console
The PCoIP Management Console (see Figure 1 ) 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).
1.10 Dual redundant network connections
Important! Both main and auxiliary network ports (see
Figure 13: Rear panel connections on page 20 ) are
connected to an internal, unmanaged network switch. The
zero client does not monitor its network links and relies on
the LAN spanning tree to prevent switching loops and to
provide redundancy.
If both network ports are connected when a connection
between the zero client and PCoIP host is interrupted, the
recovery process is as follows:
2. The Spanning Tree network protocol brings up the redundant
path between the disconnected zero client and host.
3. The zero client attempts to resume the session. By default,
it retries for up to 30 seconds. If the remote PCoIP host is
reachable within this time, the session resumes seamlessly.
4. If the zero client cannot reach the host within the retry
period, it displays the Connect screen of the On Screen Display.
See 1.12.3 On Screen Display (OSD) .
5. When the user re-authenticates themselves, they are
reconnected to the previous session as it was at the time of the
failure.
Note: If you use a connection broker to pair zero clients to
PCoIP hosts (see 1.11 ), you can configure the session so that
the Windows desktop is locked while disconnected.
1.11 Choose a connection broker if required
All Amulet Hotkey zero clients can be configured to use a
third party connection broker (also known as a connection
management server). For example, the following connection
broker products include PCoIP support:
• VMware View Connection Server;
• Leostream Connection Broker.
1.11.1 Role of the connection broker
Connection brokers simplify the administration effort for
managing large complex PCoIP systems.
A connection broker interacts with systems such as Active
Directory to dynamically assign PCoIP hosts to zero clients based
on the identity of the user establishing a connection from the
zero client.
Connection brokers are also used to allocate a pool of hosts to a
group of zero clients.
