DXZC-AC zero client
Quick Start Guide
The DXZC-AC is a PC-over-IP® (PCoIP®) zero client with an integral smart card
reader. It is based on the TERA2 chipset and supports two heads of video at the
desktop. The DXZC-AC has a single RJ45 network port .
The DXZC-AMC has been evaluated by the CESG Commercial Product Assurance
Scheme and approved for use at foundation grade for Remote Desktop v1.0.
Smart card authentication
The DXZC-AC integral card reader supports CAC and SIPRNet tokens, ISO 7816 and
EMV 2000 Level 1, and is compatible with 5v, 3v and 1.8v smart cards.
Important! Users must always insert smart cards into the DXZC-AC smart card
reader with the integrated circuit chip (ICC) facing down.
Before you start
You must first configure a remote computer and PCoIP host, ready for connection
to the DXZC-AC. The remote computer must be powered and connected to the
appropriate network. You will need the IP address of the PCoIP host.
Set up the DXZC-AC
Using the diagrams below as a guide, connect the DXZC-AC as follows:
1. Connect at least one compatible monitor to the DXZC-AC, starting at
Video 1 port.
2. Connect a keyboard and mouse to the front panel USB ports.
3. Connect audio devices, if required.
4. Connect the RJ45 network cable.
5. Connect the DXZC-AC PSU. Use only the PSU supplied with this DXZC-AC.
6. Power up the DXZC-AC, monitor and the remote workstation.

Establish a PCoIP connection
After setting up your DXZC-AC, you must establish a PCoIP session to connect the
DXZC-AC to a remote PCoIP host or virtual desktop. The connection methods are
summarized below.
■Direct connections: To connect a DXZC-AC directly to a specific PCoIP host
card, use the Direct to Host session connection type and provide the IP
address (or DNS name) for the PCoIP host. Direct connections are not
practical for very large PCoIP deployments.
■SLP Discovery: If your DXZC-AC and PCoIP host reside on the same subnet,
you can use the Direct to Host + SLP session connection type to discover
available PCoIP hosts on the subnet. The OSD lists the first 10 hosts
discovered. Choose the one you want to connect to.
■Use a connection broker: A connection broker is a third party application
that dynamically assigns DXZC-AC zero clients to remote workstations
(or virtual desktops) based on the identity of the end-user. Use the
Connection Management Interface session connection type on both the
DXZC-AC and PCoIP host. You will need to provide the IP address (or DNS
name) of the connection broker.
