Using the ENDPOINT DETAILS Page

The ENDPOINT DETAILS page displays complete configuration and status information for the selected endpoint.

It contains menu options that enable you to perform the following actions:

Info: No data from the endpoint

In cases such as restoring a database, the PCoIP Management Console must first poll the online endpoint before it can display the endpoint details information.

Endpoint Details Page

Displaying Endpoint Details

To display endpoint details:

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

  2. In either the GROUPED or UNGROUPED table, select the desired endpoint.

  3. Click ENDPOINTS and then DETAILS.

Opening an Endpoint’s Profile

To open an endpoint profile:

  1. From the ENDPOINT DETAILS page, click PROFILE.

  2. Click DETAILS to open the endpoint’s profile in edit mode.

Applying a Profile to an Endpoint

You can update an endpoint by applying a profile from the ENDPOINTS page or the ENDPOINT DETAILS page. This applies the profile right away or after any currently running scheduled actions for this endpoint have completed.

To apply a profile to an endpoint:

  1. From the ENDPOINTS page, select the endpoint.

  2. Click PROFILE > APPLY.

Moving an Endpoint

You can move an endpoint to a group either from the ENDPOINTS page or the ENDPOINT DETAILS page.

To move an endpoint:

  1. From the ENDPOINT DETAILS page, click STRUCTURE and then MOVE.

  2. Select the desired parent group or child group, and then click MOVE TO GROUP.

Renaming an Endpoint

You can rename an endpoint either from the ENDPOINTS page or the ENDPOINT DETAILS page.

To rename an endpoint:

  1. From the ENDPOINT DETAILS page, click STRUCTURE and then RENAME.

  2. Enter a unique name for the endpoint (from within its group hierarchy) and click RENAME ENDPOINT.

Note: Auto naming endpoints

If you have configured a global naming convention for endpoints that applies when they move to or from a group, this overrides any manually configured endpoint name. If you then move the endpoint into or out of a group, the automatic naming rule will apply. See Auto Naming Endpoints.

Powering Down an Endpoint

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.

Powering Down a PCoIP Zero Client

The POWER DOWN option causes a PCoIP Zero Client to power down right away, or after any currently running scheduled actions for this endpoint have completed. You can power down a PCoIP Zero Client either from the ENDPOINTS page or the ENDPOINT DETAILS page.

To power down an endpoint:

  1. From the ENDPOINT DETAILS page, click ENDPOINTS and then POWER DOWN.

  2. Click OK at the message prompt.

Power Resetting an Endpoint

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.

The POWER RESET option causes a PCoIP Zero Client to reset (reboot) right away, or after any currently running scheduled actions have completed. You can reset a PCoIP Zero Client either from the ENDPOINTS page or the ENDPOINT DETAILS page.

To reset an endpoint:

  1. From the ENDPOINT DETAILS page, click ENDPOINTS and then POWER RESET.

  2. Click OK at the message prompt.

Resetting Endpoint Properties to Factory Defaults

The RESET TO DEFAULT option causes an endpoint to reset to its default factory configuration right away, or after any currently running scheduled actions have completed. You can reset an endpoint to its default factory configuration either from the ENDPOINTS page or the ENDPOINT DETAILS page.

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.

To reset endpoint properties to their defaults:

  1. From the ENDPOINT DETAILS page, click ENDPOINTS and then RESET TO DEFAULT.

  2. Click OK at the message prompt.

  3. If the endpoint does not reboot after the reset to default command completes, reboot the endpoint either manually or from the PCoIP Management Console using the POWER RESET command.

Clearing the Management State of the Endpoint

The PCoIP Management Console allows you to place the endpoint in an unmanaged state allowing the endpoint to be managed by another PCoIP Management Console or a compatible management tool of your choice.

To clear the management state of an endpoint:

  1. From the ENDPOINT DETAILS page, click ENDPOINTS and then CLEAR MANAGEMENT STATE.

Requesting an Endpoint Certificate

The REQUEST CERTIFICATE option is an active option when your endpoint is in a group defined in your SCEP rule. The rule can contain one or more certificate usage types or requests. When you request a certificate for an endpoint, the Management Console initiates a request for a certificate using the certificate rules that apply to the endpoint.

To request a SCEP certificate:

  1. Ensure your SCEP rules are configured. See Requesting Endpoint Certificates Using SCEP (Enterprise).

  2. From the ENDPOINT DETAILS page, highlight your endpoint or the group of endpoints for this request and click ENDPOINTS and then REQUEST CERTIFICATE.

Peering Endpoints (ENTERPRISE)

PCoIP Management Console allows the option of peering a specific PCoIP Zero Client with a predetermined Remote Workstation Card. This is done using the PEER and UNPEER options found on the Endpoint DETAILS page. UNPEER is enabled when a host endpoint is selected prior to reaching the DETAILS page.

To peer a client and a host endpoint:

  1. From the ENDPOINT page, highlight the endpoint you want to peer with.

  2. From the ENDPOINT DETAILS page, click PEER.

  3. Click OK at the message prompt.

Caution: UNPEER behavior on endpoints

When unpeered, the host card will accept connections from any peer and the PCoIP Zero Client will continue to have the host IP configured until a session configuration change is made to that PCoIP Zero Client.

To unpeer a client and a host endpoint:

  1. From the ENDPOINT DETAILS page of a Remote Workstation Card, click ENDPOINTS and then UNPEER.

  2. Click OK at the message prompt.

Info: Unpeer option

You can only unpeer a client from a Remote Workstation Card. The UNPEER option is disabled on the PCoIP Zero Client ENDPOINT DETAILS page.

Deleting an Endpoint

You cannot delete an endpoint from the ENDPOINTS DETAILS page but you can from the ENDPOINTS page. See Deleting Endpoints.

Accessing an Endpoint’s AWI

From the ENDPOINT DETAILS page click WEB INTERFACE to open the endpoint’s AWI in a browser to configure the endpoint directly.

Info: Network Access

If you do not have network access to the AWI, then the link won't work.

For information about the AWI, please see PCoIP Zero Client Firmware Administrators’ Guide or the Remote Workstation Card Firmware Administrators’ Guide.

Refreshing an Endpoint

Click Refresh will display the correct information for anything listed on that page for that particular endpoint. This may take several minutes to complete.
