Configuring PCoIP connections using Teradici Remote
Workstation card
ThinOS enables you to directly configure the PCoIP connection using either the TERA2240 Remote Workstation Card or
TERA2220 Remote Workstation Card. This feature is supported only on PCoIP-enabled thin clients. This feature only works with
the direct PCoIP connection.
Prerequisites
● Ensure that you install or upgrade Teradici Host Software to 20.04.0.413 or later versions.
● Ensure that host cards are connected to a remote workstation.
● Ensure that host cards are installed correctly, that is, connected to a remote workstation with GPU.
NOTE: The SDK in ThinOS does not function similar to Teradici zero client firmware. For example, the SDK in ThinOS
does not support USB redirection and Relative Mouse features with the host card connection. This feature is mainly for
workstation users working on the server remotely.
Steps
1. On ThinOS desktop, go to Connect Manager.
2. Click New, and then click PCoIP.
3. In the Connection Settings (PCoIP) dialog box, do the following:
a. Enter the description for the PCoIP connection.
b. Enter the IP address of the remote host card.
c. From the Display Resolution drop-down list, select a display resolution for the PCoIP connection.
TERA2220 supports a single display with 2560 x 1600 resolution or two displays with 1920 x 1080 resolution. TERA2240
supports two displays with 2560 x 1600 resolution, four displays with 1920 x 1080 resolution, or a single display with 3840
x 2160 resolution.
d. Select either the Window mode or Full screen to set the initial view of the session.
e. If you want to automatically connect to the session after you restart the thin client, select the Auto-connect on
start-up check box.
f. Select the Re-connect after disconnect check box if you want to automatically reconnect to a session after the
session is disconnected. If you select this option, enter the wait interval in the Delay before re-connecting box. The
default is 20 seconds.
4. Click OK to save your settings.
NOTE:
You can still hear the sound after you mute audio in the Remote Workstation Card session. The behavior is
related to Teradici and not ThinOS.
For information about the Teradici host cards, see the Host Card documentation at www.teradici.com.
Enable ThinOS to check the server certificate
common name
ThinOS-based clients check the common name of the server certificate when setting up an SSL connection in full security
mode. Use Wyse Management Suite or Admin Policy Tool on ThinOS to enable or disable the TLS checker.
Steps
1. Open the Admin Policy Tool on ThinOS or go to the ThinOS 9.x policy settings on Wyse Management Suite.
2. In the Advanced tab, expand Privacy & Security, and click Security Policy.
3. Click the TLS Check CN toggle switch to enable the option.
Enabling the option allows ThinOS client to check the common name of the server certificate when setting up an SSL
connection in full security mode. This option is ineffective to SSL connections for VMware View, Amazon WorkSpaces,
and VPN. The server certificate common name is verified all the time when setting up SSL connections for VMware View,
Amazon WorkSpaces, and VPN.
