PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide (Issue 5)

Table 4-14: MC Discovery Configuration Parameters
Parameter Description
Enable SLP Discovery When enabled, hosts and clients can be dynamically discovered by
SLP management entities.
Note: This property requires a device restart after being changed.
PCoIP MC DNS-Based
Discovery Prefix
Use this property to direct the device to contact a particular PCoIP
MC in environments where there is more than one Management
Console in use. There are several restrictions on its operation.
Please refer to "PCoIP® Management Console User Manual"
(TER0812002) before using this property.
Note: This property requires a device restart after being changed.
Enable DNS-SRV
Discovery
When enabled:
l Hosts and clients automatically advertise themselves to a
connection broker without requiring prior knowledge of its
location in the network.
l The host or client tries to download and use the DNS SRV record
from the DNS server.
For more information about this discovery mechanism, see the
"PCoIP® Management Console User Manual" (TER0812002).
Note: This property requires a device restart after being changed.
DNS-SRV Discovery
Delay
Configures the amount of delay time in seconds between the DNS
SRV discovery attempts for connection brokers and the Management
Console. DNS SRV discovery continues periodically until the device
successfully contacts a connection management server.
7.5.2 AWI: Discovery Settings
The settings on this page let you enable management entities to discover hosts and clients
dynamically in the PCoIP system without requiring prior knowledge of their locations in the
network. Using a discovery mechanism can dramatically reduce configuration and
maintenance effort for complex systems.
You can display this page for the host or client from the Configuration > Discovery menu.
Note: SLP discovery mechanism requires all PCoIP devices and the MC to reside on the
same network subnet. For SLP discovery to work across subnets, routers must be configured
to forward multicast traffic between subnets. Because most deployments do not allow this,
the recommended discovery mechanism in this case is to configure DHCP Vendor Class
Options directly in the DHCP server. For more information about DHCP Options discovery,
see the "Configuring Device Discovery" section of the "PCoIP® Management Console User
Manual" (TER0812002).
