6.1.3 Finding Zero Client IP or MAC Address Using OSD

You can use the zero client On-Screen Display (OSD) to identify its IP address. To find the
address, perform the following steps.

1. Ensure the zero client is powered on and is set up as described in

Chapter 4 Initial Setup

on

page

33

.

2. From the OSD menu in the upper-right portion of the screen, click Options > Configuration

to display the Configuration page.

3. Record the IP address shown in the IP Address text boxes.

4. To find the MAC address, click Options > Information to display the Information page.

You can use this IP address to specify a peer device for your zero client or host, as described in

Specifying a Device’s Peer

on page

.

6.1.4 Finding

a Device’s IP Address Using a TCP/IP Port Sweep

You can use the free and open source Nmap (Network Mapper) utility to find PCoIP devices in
your environment. Nmap is available at

http://nmap.org/

. Use Nmap to perform a TCP/IP scan on

port 50,000, which will show all PCoIP devices in your environment.

NOTE: ClearCube recommends using Nmap only in PCoIP deployments using static sessions. In

other deployment types, ClearCube recommends using Sentral or SLP discovery as

described in this section.

To find a zero client or host card IP address, perform the following steps.

1. Download Nmap from

http://nmap.org/

and install it according to the documentation

provided on the Nmap Web site.

2. Open Nmap and type the following command to scan port 50,000:

nmap –p50000 target

where target is an IP address range. Use a forward slash (

/

) to separate the base IP address

and the subnet mask, for example:

192.168.3.0/24

This example scans the address range from 192.168.3.0 to 192.168.3.255, inclusive.

3. Examine the command output.
