Figure 3-11: View – Zero Client to VDI Desktop via View Security/Connection Server
To establish the connection:
Note: For more information about configuring VMware View servers, please refer to
VMware View documentation.
1. On the ESXi server:
l Create a virtual machine (VM).
l Install Windows and View Agent on the VM.
2. On the View Connection Server:
l Create a pool, and add the VM to the pool.
l Define the pairing password (and pairing timeout) that will be used to pair the
View Connection Server and View Security Server.
3. On the View Security Server:
l Pair the View Security Server with the View Connection Server.
l Enable the Use Secure Tunnel connection to desktop and Use PCoIP Secure
Gateway for PCoIP connections to desktop checkboxes.
l Enter the View Security Server's IP address for the External URL (e.g.,
https://12.50.16.151:443) and for the PCoIP External URL
(e.g.,12.50.16.151:4172). This is the WAN-facing address that remote clients can
resolve. Only the port number is different for the two addresses.
4. On your firewall or router:
l Allow both TCP and UDP traffic on port 4172, and TCP traffic on port 443.
5. From the zero client's AWI:
l Configure the View Connection Server session connection type, and enter the DNS
name or external WAN IP address of the View Security Server.
6. Start a PCoIP session.
7. If necessary, adjust bandwidth and image parameters on both the host and client to
optimize performance.
