•<PCoIP Device Description>
The <PCoIP Device Description> allows the administrator to give the Host or Portal a description or more information, e.g. location of endpoint, etc.
The <PCoIP Device Description> is not used by the PCoIP Firmware and is provided strictly for administrator use.

<Connection Management> Tab
The <Connection Management> tab allows enabling or disabling connection management, and to specify the IP address of the connection manager.
In a managed connection, an external <Connection Managerment> Server communicates with and can remotely control and configure the device. Additionally, the connection manager can locate an appropriate peer for the device to connect to and initiate the connection. <Connection management> can greatly simplify the administration effort for a large, complex system.
The Connection Management parameters can also be configured using the Webpage Administration Interface.
Figure 2-6: <Connection Management> Configuration
•<Enable Connection Management>
If the <Enable Connection Management> option is enabled, the device can be configured and controlled by an external connection manager.
•<Identify Connection Manager By>
The <Identify Connection Manager By> selector allows the administrator to choose whether the connection manager is identified by <IP address> or by Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). If connection management is disabled, this field is not required and is not editable.
Table 2-1 shows the configuration parameters available when either method is chosen. If an invalid IP address or DNS name is entered, the OSD will prompt the administrator to correct it.
