4.4.1 Copper-Based Devices
In deployments using PCoIP technology, the duplex mode and link speed settings for all
connected devices must be the same. When deploying devices in a copper network, ensure that:

You set all devices to auto-negotiate (zero clients, host cards, and other network devices such
as switchers, media converters, and so on). Instructions for zero clients and host cards are
provided below. Consult your network device documentation for instructions about
configuring network devices in your deployment.

All devices operate in full-duplex mode (that is, no devices are set to half-duplex).
CAUTION: If you set any device or device port to a specific duplex mode or link speed, you must
explicitly specify the same settings on any zero client or host card connecting to that
devices or device port. If these two settings for either link partner are different, this
can cause unsupported behavior including devices set to auto-negotiate operating in
half-duplex mode.
To set Ethernet Mode to Auto (Default)
From the Web interface, ensure that the Ethernet Mode for zero clients and host cards is set to
Auto (see
6.3 “ Using the Web Interface ” on page 63 ):
1. Click Options > Configuration.
2. Click Unlock on the lower-left portion of the screen and then click OK to unlock the
interface (by default a password is not required; consult your administrator if a password is set).
3. From the Network tab, click the Ethernet Mode drop-down box and select Auto.
4.4.2 Fiber-Based Devices
This section describes requirements for settings on ClearCube fiber zero clients and media
converters to which they connect.
Fiber zero clients are set to:

Full-duplex mode

Flow control (Link Fault Passthrough) disabled
These settings should be the same on any network switch to which the zero client connects. Check
your switch settings and make any necessary changes. The example configuration below shows
