Making the Connection - SLP
The steps below show how to use Service Location Protocol (SLP) to
connect a PCoIP Remote Workstation Card to a PCoIP Zero Client.
Connect an Ethernet cable using one of the following methods:
•
Zero client connected directly to the workstation card.
•
Zero client and workstation card connected to network devices that
are on the same subnet.
1. Power on the zero client, monitors, and host PC.
2. Ensure the session connection type is configured for SLP host
discovery:
a. From the zero client’s OSD, click
Options > Configuration > Session
.
b. Click
Unlock
, enter the required credentials, and then click
OK
.
c. Change the connection type to
Direct to Host + SLP Host Discovery
.
d. Click
OK
.
e. Click
Reset
.
ESTABLISHING A PCOIP CONNECTION
Some PCoIP Zero Clients are pre-configured to connect directly to a
PCoIP Remote Workstation Card. They can also be configured to use a
third-party connection broker, such as Leostream
™
Connection Broker
or VMware Horizon
®
, to connect to virtual desktops or PCoIP Remote
Workstation Card. This section is a brief overview of the direct-to-host
connection procedure.
Device Management
In order to make a configuration change on a PCoIP device, either of the
following management tools can be used:
•
On Screen Display (OSD)
– Only available in pre-session when a
monitor is connected to a zero client and powered on. To display the
OSD, connect a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to a zero client, and then
power on the units.
•
Administrative Web Interface (AWI)
– Accessible through a supported
browser using the IP address of the PCoIP Remote Workstation Card or
PCoIP Zero Client. The AWI can be accessed either while the workstation
card is deployed or before it is deployed by physically connecting a
laptop to the workstation card using an Ethernet cable. By default, the
workstation card and zero client will accept a DHCP address. If DHCP is
unavailable, default IP addresses for the devices are as follows:
•
Workstation card:
https://192.168.1.100
•
Zero client:
https://192.168.1.50
