PC-over-IP Administrative
Interface User Manual
10
Introduction
Users and administrators can interact with the PC-over-IP®, or PCoIP®, Portal and Host
via an embedded HTTPS web interface. The Portal can also be accessed via the local
Graphical User Interface (GUI) On Screen Display (OSD). As well, messages are
displayed over the user screen when required.
Users can connect or disconnect a session, view diagnostics, and configure user
parameters. Administrators can view and change configuration settings and user
permissions, upload data to the PCoIP device, view session diagnostics information, and
view product information.
The interfaces are structured in a task-oriented fashion intended to maximize accessibility
and minimize the learning curve. Additionally, the web interface and OSD are organized
as similarly as possible, to reduce the total user learning curve.
This document describes the PCoIP Host and Portal user interfaces. When a feature is
only available for the Host (i.e. host only) or Portal (i.e. desktop side only), this is explicitly
stated.
This document has three main sections:
•
Section 1 details the PCoIP Administrative Web Interface
•
Section 2 reviews the On Screen Display (OSD) of the Portal
•
Section 3 discusses the user message Overlay Windows
The Appendix contains:
•
Appendix A: Usage Examples
•
Appendix B: Portal Language and Keyboard Support
•
Appendix C: Portal RDP Compatibility
This document is intended to give administrators and users a working understanding of a
PCoIP system.
Note: The PCoIP Administrative Web Interface and On Screen Display configuration
features are also available via a software Application Program Interface (API) for use with
a Connection Management Server. However, details of the API are outside the scope of
this document.
