PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual 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.
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual 1 Administrative Web Interface The PCoIP Administrative Web Interface allows an administrator to interact with the device remotely using an internet browser.
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual Figure 1-2 shows an overview of the configuration webpages available in the Administrative Web Interface. Figure 1-2: Administrative Web Interface Overview 1.1 Supported Web Browsers The webpage servers on the Host and Portal have been tested and are compatible with the following web browsers: • Firefox 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 • Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0 Other browsers may also be compatible.
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual Once the administrator has determined the IP address, enter it into the browser to access the Administrative Web Interface, e.g. https://192.168.1.123. 1.3 Web Interface Security The web interface uses HTTP over an SSL socket (HTTPS), and cannot be accessed without an administrative password. The HTTPS connection is secured using a selfsigned certificate of Teradici, the provider of PCoIP processors. 1.3.
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual 1.4 Log In The Log In page allows the administrator to securely log into the administrative webpages. Figure 1-3: Log In Webpage 1.4.1 Warning The Warning displays pertinent information regarding the device the administrator is logging in to when there is an administrative session already in progress. Only one administrator is allowed per device. Logging into a session will terminate any other administrative session in progress. 1.4.
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual 1.5 Home/Initial Setup Webpages When an administrator logs in, the Home webpage is shown. The Home webpage provides an overview of the status. If configured in the firmware defaults, the Initial Setup webpage is optionally used the first time an administrator logs in. Afterwards the Home page is shown unless the firmware parameters reset (see Section 1.6.14 Reset Parameters) 1.5.1 Home The Home webpage provides a summary of the Host or Portal.

From the Portal OSD, select the Connect button to start discovering available hosts Figure 4-15: DHCP Discovery Connect Screen 2.
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual Figure 4-17 shows simplified bandwidth requirements for each user assuming they each had the full 100 Mbps available. The figure shows that network demand for each user peaks only for short periods (e.g. when opening/closing windows, scrolling a page, etc.). The PCoIP system adapts quickly to available network bandwidth, so we recommend keeping the system defaults.
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual Note: For this example, it is assumed that very little data is required from the Portal back to the Host (i.e. USB keyboard and mouse data), and therefore the only the Host bandwidth is limited. To be complete, the Portal bandwidth limit could also be configured. 1. Open the Host Administration Web Interface for the first user’s Host by using an internet browser to open the Host IP address 2. Log in to the Host Administration Web Interface 3.
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual Figure 4-19: Simplified User Bandwidth Requirements (25 Mbps) 4.3.2 Configuring Image Properties In the above section, the bandwidth was limited to 25 Mbps with a bandwidth target of 20 Mbps. Depending on the usage, it is possible that users may occasionally require more than that bandwidth limit to fully render their display information at maximum quality and full frame rate.
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual can reduce the amount of bandwidth required per user while maintaining a minimum limit on the user experience. Note: This example uses the Administration Web Interface for configuring the Portal for Minimum Image Quality and Maximum Initial Image Quality. The Portal OSD may also be used to configure the Portal. See Section 2 On Screen Display (OSD) for the corresponding OSD functionality.
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual the Maximum Initial Image Quality to 60 was a preferable way of reducing bandwidth requirements than setting a hard limit on the Device Bandwidth Limit. Regardless of the Maximum Initial Image Quality setting, the PCoIP system will always build unchanged regions of the display to a lossless image. Note: the Minimum Image Quality setting must always be less than or equal to the Maximum Initial Image Quality setting. 4.3.
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual 4. Enter 0 in the Device Bandwidth Target field to enable no limit 5. Select the Apply button to accept the changes 6. Repeat for the other three users’ Hosts The bandwidth limit and target are now set to 0 Mbps (no limit) for each user. Due to the nature of the users’ tasks—light graphics changes and peak network demand at different times—it is expected that there will be little conflict for the full 100-Mbps bandwidth.
