Remote Power Management

During PCoIP

sessions, you can use the Portal’s Remote PC Power Button (3) to change the Host PC’s power state.

To enable this function, the PCoIP

Host Card Power Button Cable must be connected as described below.

This section assumes you have advanced PC hardware experience.

1. Be sure the Host PC is turned off and unplugged from AC power.

2. Open the PC’s case.

3. Connect the Power Button Cable to the Host Card cable connector (16).

4. Disconnect the PC’s front-panel power button cable from the motherboard. (If the PC uses a single connector for all

front-panel buttons and jacks, disconnecting it will disable all these devices.)

5. Connect the other end of the Power Button Cable to the motherboard’s power switch header. Be sure to connect the

red wire to the power-on pin and the black wire to the ground pin on the PC’s motherboard.

6. If possible, connect the PC’s front-panel power button cable to the 2-pin header on the Power Button Cable. If this is

not possible, the PC’s front-panel power button will be disabled.

7. Close the Host PC’s case and plug the Host PC into a surge-protected AC outlet.

8. Power up the Host PC using the Portal’s Remote PC power button (3). This button can also be used to wake the

Host PC from Sleep states.

5. Select the Host Card you wish to connect and click “OK”.

6. The Portal’s PCoIP

7. If you are using dual monitors, remember to configure the graphics card for dual-monitor operation.

8. When the Host PC finishes booting, use the Portal as you would a normal desktop PC.

NOTE

If the “Connect” button on the Portal OSD is inactive or if the Portal can not discover any

Host Cards on the IP network, check the network connection and be sure the Ethernet switch

or router is powered on.

Additional Notes

Monitor types:

In addition to DVI monitors, the Portal is compatible with analog VGA and digital HDMI monitors.

Simply attach a DVI-to-VGA or DVI-to-HDMI adapter to the Portal’s DVI connector.

Audio:

The Portal uses the Realtek High-Definition Audio Codec. Windows Vista natively contains an HD

Audio driver for this Codec. For other operating systems, including Windows XP, please install the

High-Definition Audio Codec driver from www.realtek.com to use PCoIP System’s full audio capabilities.

IP Address:

The Portal and Host are set to DHCP client mode by default. Normally, the IP address of the Portal and

Host are assigned by the DHCP server on your IP network. If your IP network does not have a DHCP

server, the Portal and Host Card will fall back to a static IP address mode after a timeout period of

approximately 2 minutes. In the fall back static IP address mode, you can access the Portal and

Host web interface to disable DHCP client mode and assign a static IP address.

The Portal’s fall back IP address is 192.168.1.50 and Host’s fall back IP address is 192.168.1.100.

Portal Buttons:

The Portal’s Power Button (2) is a multi-function button.

▪ A short push (< 4 seconds) power on the Portal.

▪ A long push (> 4 seconds) power off the Portal.

▪ When the Portal is connected in a session, a short push will disconnect it from the Host.
