OSD Session Connection Type – Direct to Host + SLP Host Discovery

Advanced Settings

OSD Session Page Parameters

Parameters Description

Enable Auto-Reconnect

When enabled, lets the client automatically reconnect with the last connected host when a session is lost.

Enable Peer Loss
Overlay

When enabled, the “Network Connection Lost” overlay appears on the display(s) when a loss of network connectivity is detected. Normal hypervisor scheduling delays can falsely trigger this message.

Note: This option is only available for a zero client. Desktop applications that require the peer loss notification should re-enable the feature through the OSD, AWI, or MC.

Enable Preparing Desktop Overlay

When enabled, the "Preparing Desktop" overlay appears on the display(s) when users log in.

Note: This overlay provides assurance that login is proceeding if the desktop takes more than a few seconds to appear.
