About the MC

The PCoIP Management Console (MC) lets you centrally manage the devices in your PCoIP deployment. It is packaged as a VMware® virtual machine (VM), running on VMware Player. You can use the MC to view status information for devices, create groups and profiles, configure a profile (a collection of configuration settings) that you can apply to a group (one or more devices that require the same configuration), upload certificates and firmware to devices, control the power settings for devices, manage the monitoring of device event logs, and much more.

The MC topics in this help system describe how to use the MC to configure a device profile. For complete information about how to install, set up, and use the MC, please refer to “Teradici PCoIP® Management Console User Manual” (TER0812002) in the Teradici Support Center.

After you type the IP address of the MC web interface into an Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browser, the browser will use HTTPS (HTTP over an SSL socket) to connect to the MC web interface. The IP address for the MC web interface is configured (either statically or via DHCP) from the MC virtual machine console after installation. Access to the MC is controlled using an administrative password, which is also set from the MC virtual machine console after installation. Full details about these setup procedures are included in the “Teradici PCoIP® Management Console User Manual” (TER0812002).

The MC's HTTPS connection is secured using a PCoIP MC root Certificate Authority (CA) certificate. For information on how to install this certificate, see “Teradici PCoIP® Management Console User Manual” (TER0812002).

The MC is compatible with the following browsers:
