Select the Connection Management Interface session connection type from the Configuration > Session page to configure an external connection manager as the connection broker for the host to use.
Note: External connection managers can simplify the administration effort for large, complex systems. In a managed connection, an external connection manager server communicates with a device, and can remotely control and configure it. The connection manager can also locate an appropriate peer for the device to connect to, and then initiate the connection.
AWI Session Connection Type – Connection Management Interface (Host)
AWI Session Page Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
DNS Name or IP Address |
Enter the DNS name or IP address of the connection manager. |
Accept Any Peer |
When enabled, the host accepts connections from any client. When disabled, you must specify the MAC address of the peer you want the host to accept. |
Peer MAC Address |
Enter the MAC address of the client that is allowed to connect to the host. If the Accept Any Peer option is enabled, this field is not required and not editable. |
Session Negotiation Cipher |
Configure the Transport Layer Security (TLS) cipher to use for negotiating the TLS session between the PCoIP client and the PCoIP host.
|
Enabled Session Ciphers |
Enable or disable an encryption mode for the device. By default, all encryption modes that pertain to a device are enabled.
Note: For more information about connecting to VMware Horizon virtual desktops, see “Using PCoIP® Zero Clients with VMware View User Guide” (TER0904005) in the Teradici Support Documentation Center. Note: The enabled encryption mode must match between the host and client for a session to be established. If more than one mode is enabled, the firmware selects the following:
|
Enable DSCP |
When enabled, the device populates the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field in the IP header, allowing intermediate network nodes to prioritize PCoIP traffic accordingly. |
Enable Transport Congestion Notification |
When enabled, transport congestion notification is enabled to allow PCoIP endpoints to react accordingly if an intermediate network node sets the congestion notification bit in either the IP header or PCoIP transport header. Note: For more information about the PCoIP transport header, see PCoIP Packet Format. |
