Figure 2-7: <Discovery> Configuration

•<Enable Discovery>

If the <Enable Discovery>option is enabled, the device will dynamically discover peer devices using SLP Discovery, without requiring prior knowledge of their locations in the network. This can dramatically reduce configuration and maintenance effort for complex systems.

SLP discovery requires routers configured to allow multicast, and therefore DNS-SRV Discovery is the recommended discovery mechanism.

•<Enable Host Discovery>

The <Enable Host Discovery>feature allows the Portal to discover Hosts that are not in a PCoIP session.

When enabled, the Portal is able to display up to 10 available hosts in order of being discovered. It is expected that the <Enable Host Discovery> feature will be used with small numbers of Hosts.

<Session> Tab

The <Session> tab allows an administrator to configure how the device connects to peer devices.

The Session parameters can also be configured using the Webpage Administration Interface.

Figure 2-8: <Session> Configuration

•<Session Type>

The <Session Type> allows the administrator to configure the Portal for a PCoIP session or RDP session.

•<Identify Peer By>

The <Identify Peer By> selector allows the administrator to choose whether the peer device is identified by IP and MAC address or by Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
