2.3.3 Static IP
You can use static IPs in any environment—managed or unmanaged. PCoIP devices have default,
fallback static IP addresses. The default, static IP addresses are as follows:
zero client—192.168.1.100
host card—192.168.1.101
Subnet—255.255.255.0
Gateway—192.168.1.1
These default, known addresses ensure that users can move zero clients between networks and
always have a known IP address. See
Using Default Device Fallback IP Addresses
” on
page
for more information about default, fallback IP addresses.

Network Topology
Zero clients and host cards communicate over a standard Ethernet connection. You can connect
devices over a network shared with other devices or directly over a dedicated connection. The
network in your deployment can generally be:
Shared—In typical deployments, devices are connected to a shared network. This topology
provides the following benefits:
Each device’s Web interface is accessible from other computers on the network.
Administrators can use management tools and connection brokers (ClearCube Sentral) to
manage devices
Direct—A direct connection can be useful for first-time users to experiment with or test a
zero client and host card. Highly secure deployments that require the isolation of PCoIP
traffic might find direct connections or a set of direction connections useful. Direct
connections can prevent administrators from accessing the devices’ Web interface unless they
connect a laptop to the host. Otherwise, administrators must use the device’s On-Screen
Display (OSD), which provides a limited set of administrative capabilities.
As discussed at the beginning of this chapter, the primary categorization of your deployment
includes device management and network topology. Additional aspects include peer assignment
and IP address assignment. The following table shows the PCoIP connection methodologies
discussed in this document and the corresponding ways that devices obtain IP addresses in each
