Figure 3-1: Network Webpage
The Network webpage has eight parameters:
Available IP addressing settings – allows
network parameter configuration
• Enable DHCP (see DHCP vs. Static IP above)
• IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway (entered
when using static IP addressing)
• Primary DNS Server, Secondary DNS Server
(provided by DHCP server when using DHCP
IP addressing – not used with static IP
addressing)
Each endpoint must have a unique IP address
that does not conflict with other devices on the
network.
To simplify configuration, all endpoints can be
on the same subnet, for example:
IP address: 192.168.1.x
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0.
Ethernet Mode - sets the network data rate:
• Auto (recommended – will auto negotiate to
proper network data rate)
• 10 Mbps Full-Duplex – for use with legacy
network equipment, such as an IP switch, that
can only support 10Mbps
• 100 Mbps Full-Duplex – for use with legacy
network equipment, such as an IP switch that
can only support 100Mbps
Note: An improper Ethernet setting may create a
half-duplex connection. Since PCoIP
Technology is not compatible with half-duplex
network connections, a warning message is
shown, and the session is eventually lost.
Maximum MTU Size - see Maximum
Transmission Unit in Section 5, Network
Considerations.
Figure 3-2: Session Webpage
The Session webpage has seven parameters:
Session parameters – sets basic session
settings
• Accept Any Peer - allows the Host to accept
any Portal for a PCoIP Session.
• Session Type - PCoIP or RDP
Peer Identity parameters – sets how to identify
the remote peer
• Identify Peer by - use IP address for PCoIP
Sessions and FQDN for RDP sessions
• Peer IP Address – the other endpoint’s IP
address
• Peer MAC Address – the other endpoint’s
MAC address
Other session parameters
• Enable Auto-Reconnect - Portal reconnects
automatically when a PCoIP Session is lost
• Session Timeout - time to wait before ending
a session, when the network is lost or severely
congested
Example: Manual Configuration
This example demonstrates manual peer-to-
peer configuration of the Host and Portal pair,
