6.6.3.1 Direct Connection Best Practices

The following list describes best practices for connecting a zero client directly to a host using
static IP addresses.

Creating a direct connection means that connected devices are outside of a network. If you

see any network services (such as DNS, DHCP, and so on) when working with a direct
connection, this means that you have not created a direct connection.

Ensure that the Ethernet cable between the zero client and the host is connected to the host's

PCoIP port on the back of the chassis (not the host's NIC port). See the A-series and R-series
User’s Guides for information about A-series and R-series chassis and port layout.

Ensure that Ethernet cables connecting devices are less than 100 meters.

ClearCube recommends using static IPs in this configuration. Using static, fallback IP

addresses significantly increases the time for devices to become available because fallback IP
addresses are only available after a timeout period.

6.6.3.2 Configuring Devices in Direct Connection

NOTE: You cannot configure devices for direct connection in the same setup that you use for

deployment. Connect devices for configuration as shown in the following figure, then
disconnect and deploy them for direct connection as shown in

The following figure shows how you can use a portable computer to access the host card and zero
client Web interface to configure each device.
