Connecting a new PCoIP Zero Client to an existing PCoIP Remote Workstation Card.
In general, newer firmware in PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards (host cards) are backward compatible with PCoIP Zero Clients using older firmware. However, enhancements to firmware may produce unexpected behaviors. Important changes are documented in each …
What is the impact of minimum and maximum initial image quality on a PCoIP Session?
Minimum and maximum initial image quality sets the lower and upper quality level. The default values in HP Anyware is Q40 for the minimum initial image quality and Q80 for the maximum initial image quality. If PCoIP estimates there is adequate bandwidth …
Should I use an initial image quality of Q100?
An initial image quality of Q100 will deliver the highest quality of image PCoIP can deliver. Q100 is not lossless, for a lossless image, build to lossless must be enabled.  How to configure the Turn off Build-to-Lossless feature session variable in GPO …
Can I use an Ethernet hub or half-duplex network connection with a PCoIP Zero Client or PCoIP Remote Workstation Card?
No. PCoIP technology requires a full-duplex Ethernet connection from end to end. In modern networks, half-duplex links can still exist when using technologies such as Wi-Fi or point to point Wi-Fi or Microwave links. Older communication equipment in wired …
Why does my PCoIP Remote Workstation hibernate or sleep and not power off remotely from my Tera 2 PCoIP Zero Client?
When a PCoIP Zero Client attempts to power down a Windows 7 or Windows 10 workstation host during a PCoIP session, the workstation may enter the sleep state rather than being shutdown. This will occur if Windows is configured to map the PC power button to …
Can a WAN accelerator be used to improve the performance of PCoIP sessions?
PCoIP does not benefit from a WAN accelerator, legacy WAN accelerator solutions use different methods to improve the performance of applications operating over congested networks. These methods include compressing packets, implementing proxy servers that …
What does "IPC: Frame encode took xxx ms so far. Dropping down the quality to index x." in the log files indicate?
Answer: In this case, the imaging encoder has determined that too many bits were being sent in the upper portion of the frame (i.e. flooding) which causes the frame to take longer to encode, and therefore appears unresponsive to the user (> 750 ms to …
Should I configure "Maximum Initial Image Quality" to 100 if I want lossless still image?
No. Regardless of PCoIP image-quality settings, still images are always lossless. The time it takes to display them depends on your image-quality settings and available network bandwidth. For most situations, it is recommended to use 40 for Minimum Image …
