6.6 Connecting to a Device
ClearCube Technology, Inc. 79
NOTE: You must have a physical connection to a computer running a Web browser to view the
PCoIP browser-based management interface. A direct connection between a host card
and a zero client does not provide the Web interface. To use the Web interface to
configure a host, connect a computer running the Web interface to the host card. After
working with the Web interface, you can reconnect the zero client to the host.
NOTE: ClearCube recommends using static IPs in this configuration. Using static, fallback IP
addresses significantly increases the time for devices to become available because
fallback IP addresses are only available after a timeout period.
1. Ensure that you have set up devices as described in 4.2 “Mandatory Mounting, Cooling, and
Airflow Provisions” on page 34 and in 4.4 “Mandatory Network-Related Settings” on page 39.
2. Connect the chassis and the zero client.
a. Connect one end of a CAT5 or CAT6 Ethernet cable to the appropriate port on your
chassis.
 R4300 chassis—insert the cable in the Secondary Network port.
 A3100 chassis—insert the cable to the PCoIP port.
b. Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 connector on the zero client.
3. Configure networked devices as described in “Port and Protocol Requirements” on page 31
and “Mandatory Network-Related Settings” on page 39.
4. Configure the zero client.
a. Briefly press and hold the power button on the front of the zero client to power it on. The
zero client displays a dialog box.
b. In the upper–left corner of the page, click Options > Configuration to open the
Configuration window. Click Unlock on the lower–left portion of the window to
display the Unlock dialog box. Click OK to unlock the window (you should not need to
type a password).
c. In the Network tab, ensure that the Enable DHCP option is cleared. Specify the
following for the zero client:
 IP addresses
 Subnet mask
 Gateway
