Performing Power Management

The ENDPOINTS page provides menu options to let you power down and reset PCoIP Zero Clients from the PCoIP Management Console. These actions are performed on one or more individual PCoIP Zero Clients and occur as soon as you apply them from the ENDPOINTS menu, or after any currently running scheduled actions for this PCoIP Zero Client have completed. Alternatively, you can create a schedule to power down or reset one or more groups of PCoIP Zero Clients in the future. See Creating a Schedule.

Caution: Remote Workstation Cards

Remote Workstation Cards cannot be powered down, power reset, or reset to default by the PCoIP Management Console as the Remote Workstation Card requires the host computer to be restarted due to the Remote Workstation Card obtaining its power from the host computer motherboard. An alternate method of restarting the host computer is required to restart the host computer.

Resetting Endpoint Properties to Their Defaults

Note: Resetting an endpoint clears the management state and disables the AWI

See Configuring DNS for Endpoints that use Autodiscovery or Configuring DHCP for Endpoints that use Auto Discovery

  • Management State: Resetting an endpoint to factory defaults will clear the management state of the endpoint. The bootstrap and endpoint discovery will need to be done automatically or manually. If the endpoint has autodiscovery enabled, it will check back into the Management Console. If the endpoint has not been configured for autodiscovery, you will have to have physical access to the endpoint to use the OSD or configure management access.

  • AWI: Resetting a Zero Client to factory defaults will disable the Administrative Web Interface. The Remote Workstation Card AWI is not disabled by default. You can gain access to the AWI again if you are on site and can access the OSD, or if autodiscovery is enabled where you can re-apply a profile that enables the AWI.

The RESET TO DEFAULT option causes an endpoint to reset to its default configuration right away, or after any currently running scheduled actions for this endpoint have completed. You can reset an endpoint to its default configuration either from its ENDPOINT DETAILS page or from the ENDPOINTS page. Performing a RESET TO DEFAULT on a Remote Workstation Card requires someone onsite to power cycle the host computer.

To reset endpoint properties to their defaults:

  1. From the PCoIP Management Console’s top menu, click the ENDPOINTS link.

  2. In either the GROUPED or UNGROUPED table, select one or more endpoints that you wish to reset.

    Use Shift+Click and Ctrl+Click to select elements

    Use Shift+Click to select contiguous elements and Ctrl+Click to select non-contiguous elements.

  3. Click RESET TO DEFAULT then OK.
