Requirements for Managing PCoIP Devices
PCoIP devices (running ThreadX firmware) require a DNS Service Location (SRV) resource record to perform the following actions:
•Partial
•Firmware Download Completion Status - Where firmware upload is initiated by the server and download completion is initiated (made known) by the device using the DNS SRV record.
•Reboot Status - This necessary intimation (especially when DHCP lease for an IP has expired and a device receives a fresh IP) enables WDM to keep track of the device even if an IP has changed.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to complete the steps in "Creating a DNS Service Location (SRV) Resource Record for Wyse ThreadX Devices."
However, for special cases where a DNS server is unavailable, you can provide a polling mechanism where WDM runs a polling thread to check if the ThreadX devices listed in the Device Manager are up and running. Simply enable the ThreadX device polling feature (Device Configuration > Preferences > Service > Enabling ThreadX Device Polling) and then restart the ThreadX Service. CAUTION: Be aware that this polling thread is not equivalent to using a DNS Service Location (SRV) resource record and is a workaround to manage only a Partial
Creating a DNS Service Location (SRV) Resource Record for Wyse ThreadX Devices
If you plan to use Wyse ThreadX devices, you must create and configure a DNS Service Location (SRV) resource record.
Use the following guidelines:
1.Open the DNS management console.

2.Select the domain where the server is configured,
