Quick Start Guide
Zero Client
The DXZC-C is a PC-over-IP® (PCoIP®) zero client with integral smart card reader
used to connect to physical and virtual workstations, virtual desktops such as
VMware Horizon and cloud managed desktops such as Amazon Workspaces.
The DXZC-C, based on the Tera2 chipset, supports two heads of video at the
desktop. The DXZC-C has three USB 2.0 ports and one USB card reader.
The DXZC-C is available in two versions. The standard DXZC-C has an RJ45 network
port. The DXZC-MC has a network port that accepts a copper or fiber SFP module
(available separately). Each is supplied with a PSU and power cable.
Note: This guide uses ‘DXZC-C’ as a generic term when referring to both the
standard DXZC-C product and the DXZC-MC product.

Smart card authentication
The DXZC-C 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-C smart card
reader with the integrated circuit chip (ICC) facing down. For example, this
means that CAC cards are inserted upside down.

Configure the zero client IP address
You can configure the zero client to use DHCP or a static IP address.
1. Turn on the DXZC-C zero client to display the OSD screen.
2. If requested, enter the default password ahkdante.
3. To change the settings, select Options > Configurations and the Network tab.
Get the IP or MAC address of the PCoIP host
If the zero clients and PCoIP hosts reside on the same subnet, you can use the
Direct to Host + SLP Host Discovery session connection type to discover available
PCoIP hosts on the subnet. This is normally the default setting.
1. Get the IP or MAC address of the PCoIP host that you want to connect to.
Establish a connection with the PCoIP host
1. Select Options > Configuration and choose the Sessions tab.
2. Click Unlock and enter the password (default is ahkdante).
3. Select the Direct to Host + SLP Host Discovery session connection type from
the drop down list (see the manual for other connection methods).
4. Click the Connect button.
The message ‘Discovering hosts’, followed by a list of available hosts appears.
5. Select the chosen PCoIP host from the list and click OK.
The Connect button is greyed out until the DXZC-C has a network connection
and an IP address. If the zero client fails to discover any hosts, the message ‘No
Hosts available for connection’ appears.
6. (Optional) You can also set the Enable Auto-Reconnect setting (Advanced
settings) to remember the last connected PCoIP host.
Connecting the DXZC-C to a virtual desktop
To connect to a virtual desktop in a VMware® View™ environment you must
provide the IP address (or DNS name) of the View Connection Server. If you want
users to log on manually, choose the View Connection Server session connection
type. To set up automatic logons, choose the View Connection Server + Auto-
Logon session connection type.
Refer to the PCoIP Zero Client & Host Administrator Guide or the DXZC-C user
manual for more detailed instructions, including those covering VMware® View™.
