Introduction

Users and administrators can interact with the PC-over-IP® Portal TERA1100 and

Host TERA1200 devices via an embedded HTTPS web interface. The Portal can

also be accessed via the local Graphical User Interface (GUI) On Screen Display

(OSD). As well, messages are displayed over the user screen when required.

Users can connect/disconnect a session and view diagnostics and configure user

parameters. Administrators can view and change configuration settings and user

permissions, upload data to the PC-over-IP device, view session diagnostics

information, and view product information.

The interfaces are structured in a task-oriented fashion intended to maximize

accessibility and minimize the learning curve. Additionally, the web interface and

OSD are organized as similarly as possible, to reduce the total user learning curve.

This document describes the user PC-over-IP Host and Portal user interfaces.

Where applicable it is stated when the feature is only available for the Host (i.e. host

only) or Portal (i.e. desktop side only).

This document has three main sections:

• Section 1 details the PC-over-IP Administrative Web Interface

• Section 2 reviews On Screen Display (OSD) of the Portal

• Section 3 discusses the user message Overlay Windows

The Appendix contains:

• Appendix A: Usage Examples

• Appendix B: TERA1100 Portal Language and Keyboard Support

This document is intended to give a working understanding of a PC-over-IP system

for administrators and users.

Note: The PC-over-IP Administrative Web Interface and On Screen Display

configuration features are also available via a software Application Program Interface

(API) for use with a Connection Management Server, but is outside the scope of this

document.

TERA1x00 PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual TER0606004 Issue 3

1 Administrative Web Interface

currently stored in flash.

TERA1x00 PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual TER0606004 Issue 3

Figure 1: Administration Web Interface

1.1 Supported Web Browsers

The webpage server on the TERA1x00 devices has been tested and is compatible

with the following web browsers:

• Firefox 1.5 and 2.0

• Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0

Other browsers may also be compatible.

1.2 Administrative Web Interface IP Address

To access the Administrative Web Interface, the administrator must browse to the IP

address of the TERA1x00. The IP address used depends on the method that IP

addresses are determined:

TERA1x00 PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual TER0606004 Issue 3

• Static IP Address: the IP address are hard coded and must be known

• Dynamic IP Address: the IP address is dynamically assigned by the Dynamic

Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and can be obtained from the

DHCP server

Once the IP address is determined, it can be entered into the browser to access the

Administrative Web Interface, e.g. https://192.168.1.123.

1.3 Web Interface Security

The web interface uses HTTP over an SSL socket (HTTPS), and cannot be

accessed without an administrative password. The HTTPS connection is secured

using a Teradici self-signed certificate.

1.3.1 CA Root Certificate Installation

TERA1x00 PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual TER0606004 Issue 3

Figure 2: Log In Webpage

1.4.1 Warning

The Warning displays pertinent information regarding the device the administrator is

logging in to when there is an administrative session already in progress. As only

one administrator is allowed per device, it displays administration session

information. Logging into a session will terminate any other administration session in

progress.

1.4.2 Password

The Password field allows entering the password to gain access to the

administration webpage. The default value is blank, i.e. “”.

Information concerning changing the password can be found in Section 1.5.12.

1.4.3 Idle Timeout

The Idle Timeout field sets the administration idle timeout. The options are:

• 1 minute

• 5 minutes

• 15 minutes

• 30 minutes

• Never

1.5 Configuration

The Configuration menu contains links to pages that define how the device

operates and interacts with its environment. The webpages in the Configuration

menu are:

• Network

TERA1x00 PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual TER0606004 Issue 3

• Connection Management

• Discovery

Figure 3: Configuration Menu Navigation

1.5.1 Network

The Network webpage allows an administrator to set the Portal and Host network

parameters.

Note: The Portal Network parameters can also be configured using the Portal OSD.

See Section 2.3.1 Network.

TERA1x00 PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual TER0606004 Issue 3

Figure 4: Network Configuration Webpage

1.5.1.1 Enable DHCP

When the Enable DHCP option is enabled, the device will contact a DHCP server to

be assigned an IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP address and DNS servers.

When disabled, the device requires these parameters to be set manually.

1.5.1.2 IP Address

The IP Address is the device’s IP address. If DHCP is disabled, this field is

required. If DHCP is enabled, this field is not editable. This field must be a valid IP

address, and if an invalid IP address is entered, the web interface will prompt the

administrator to correct it.

1.5.1.3 Subnet Mask

The Subnet Mask is the device’s subnet mask. If DHCP is disabled, this field is

required. If DHCP is enabled, this field is not editable. This field must be a valid IP

address, and if an invalid IP address is entered, the web interface will prompt the

administrator to correct it.

Warning: It is possible to configure an illegal IP Address/Subnet Mask combination

(e.g. invalid mask) that will leave the Host unreachable. Care must be taken when

setting the Subnet Mask.

TERA1x00 PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual TER0606004 Issue 3

1.5.1.4 Gateway

The Gateway is the device’s gateway IP address. If DHCP is disabled, this field is

required. If DHCP is enabled, this field is not editable. This field must be a valid IP

address, and if an invalid IP address is entered, the web interface will prompt the

administrator to correct it.

1.5.1.5 Primary DNS Server

The Primary DNS Server is the device’s primary DNS IP address. This field is

optional. If the DNS server IP Address is configured when using a Connection

Manager, the Connection Manager address may be set as a FQDN instead of an IP

address (see Section 1.5.2.2). This field must be a valid IP address, and if an

invalid IP address is entered, the web interface will prompt the administrator to

correct it.

1.5.1.6 Secondary DNS Server

The Secondary DNS Server is the device’s secondary DNS IP address. This field is

optional. If the DNS server IP Address is configured when using a Connection

Manager, the Connection Manager address may be set as a FQDN instead of an IP

address (see Section 1.5.2.2). This field must be a valid IP address, and if an invalid

IP address is entered, the web interface will prompt the administrator to correct it.

1.5.1.7 Ethernet Mode

The Ethernet Mode field configures the Ethernet mode of the Portal. The options

are:

• Auto

• 10 Mbps Full-Duplex

• 100 Mbps Full-Duplex

This option is only available on a Portal; on the Host it is disabled and non-editable.

Note: Users should always set the Ethernet Mode to Auto and only use 10 Mbps

Full-Duplex or 100 Mbps Full-Duplex when the other network endpoint is also

configured to operate at 10M Mbps Full-Duplex or 100M Mbps Full-Duplex. An

improperly set Ethernet Mode may result in the network operating at Half-Duplex.

Half-Duplex is not supported by PC-over-IP and the session will be severely

degraded and the session will eventually be dropped.

1.5.1.8 Maximum MTU Size

The Maximum MTU Size option allows for configuration of the Maximum

Transmission Unit (MTU) packet size. A smaller MTU may be required in situations

such as VPN tunneling, since PC-over-IP packets to be fragmented. The Maximum

MTU Size should be set to a value smaller than the network path MTU for the end-

to-end connection between the Host and Portal. The Maximum MTU Size range is

500 to 1500 bytes.

TERA1x00 PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual TER0606004 Issue 3

1.5.2 Connection Management

The Connection Management webpage allows enabling or disabling connection

management, and to specify the IP address of the connection manager.

In a managed connection, an external Connection Manager Server communicates

with and can remotely control and configure the device. Additionally, the connection

manager can locate an appropriate peer for the device to connect to, and initiate the

connection. Connection management can greatly simplify the administration effort

for a large, complex system.

Note: The Portal Connection Management parameters can also be configured using

the Portal OSD. See Section 2.3.2 Connection Management.
