Table 5-38: OSD Session Page Parameters
Parameter Description
DNS Name or IP
Address
Enter the VMware View Connection Server's DNS name or IP
address.
User name Enter the username for the client.
Password Enter the password for the client.
Domain Enter the domain name for the client.
Desktop Name to Select Enter the pool/desktop name used by the client when starting a
session.
Note: This setting is optional.
Port By default this field is blank, and port 443 is used to communicate
with the View Connection Server.
If your network is set up to use a non-standard port for secure
connections, enter the port number.
Auto Connect When enabled, the client automatically connects to the selected View
Connection Server whenever the client powers up or when a session
with the virtual desktop is terminated.
Note: After enabling Auto Connect, the client must be power-cycled
for the change to take effect.
Auto Launch If Only One
Desktop
When enabled, users are automatically connected to their virtual
desktop after user credentials are entered.
Note: This feature only applies to users who are entitled to a single
desktop. It does not apply to users entitled to multiple virtual
desktops.
Use OSD Logo for View
Banner
When enabled, the PCoIP zero client OSD logo appears during login
in place of the VMware View banner. You can upload an OSD logo
from the OSD Logo Upload page.
Enable Peer Loss
Overlay
When enabled, the “Network Connection Lost” overlay appears on
the display(s) when a loss of network connectivity is detected. It also
appears in the case of a virtual desktop such as VMware View.
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.
