The USB redirection feature that can be installed with Horizon Agent
does not support webcam redirection. If you redirect audio input
devices through USB redirection, the audio stream does not synchronize
properly with video during Real-Time Audio-Video sessions, and you lose
the benefit of reducing the demand on network bandwidth. You can take
steps to ensure that webcams and audio input devices are redirected to
your desktops through Real-Time Audio-Video, not USB redirection.
Ensure that Session Reliability is enabled under Control Panel / Citrix Settings / Advanced. Note: This is enabled by default in firmware 10.12.166 or higher.
To start, please ensure that you are using either thumb drive that is formatted in FAT32 or NTFS. Then copy your firmware files that were provided to you, to the root of the thumb drive.
Factory default your unit: Go to settings… open the System Information applet and go to Advanced then click on the Factory Default… button.
Once you have factory defaulted your unit, go to Settings… and then Security Settings. Inside of the Security Settings applet, please check the box next to Enable installation from USB storage, then click the OK button.
With this setting enable, please insert your thumb drive into the unit and wait for the prompt to show up. If it is not already on the Firmware Update tab in the left hand pane, please click on that option to switch to that tab. Once there, click on your firmware file to highlight it and then click on the Install button in the lower right hand corner.
The ESC key will enter the BIOS, except on the 7500 Series laptop form factor. The 7500 unit uses the F2 key.
On our Linux NOS™ and PKOS™ models press CTRL+F12 to disconnect from session. You must be at 10.12.156 or higher (NOS™) or at 12.0.127 (PKOS) or higher for this to work.
This is caused by the session launching using the “light receiver
When the Citrix receiver is run in full screen mode, the receiver grabs ALL input.
Possible solutions:
Use the screensaver in the Citrix session and disable the PeakOS™ screensaver.
Switch to desktop mode and run the Citrix session in a windowed mode.
Please see the document below:

- The V1200-POE and 5900q series including PoE module falls into PoE class 4 (12.96W-25.5W). Although typical usage of the clients is significantly less (i.e. 5-7 watts), you should allow for 23W per client. This is due to initial power requirements, specifically where multiple monitors are attached and the client initializes and performs boot up.
An explanation of the Cloning/Deploying and Backup/Restore and their differences:
- Cloning is the process of creating a deployable Windows image.
- The administrator initiates the clone from the Manager’s Thin Client view after selecting the source device.
- For a WE10 device, the administrator is guided through a Sysprep wizard for additional customization.
- The administrator is prompted for the name to which to save the image.
- The source is set to PXE boot, and the Manager remotely initiates “Sysprep

On the 10ZiG Manager Server PC, open regedit and navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\10ZiG\MgrService. Create a new Reg DWORD value under MgrService key, with Name ‘AlwaysRetrieveBeforeTemplate’ and Value Data ‘1’. Restart the 10ZiG Manager Service to apply change.
A Service (SRV) record is a Domain Name System (DNS) resource record that is used to identify computers that host specific services. Clients query for a specific service/protocol name within a specific domain to receive the associated server hostname and port number.
SRV records are added to the "Forward Lookup Zone" for the DNS domain with the name formatted as "_servicename._protocol.domain" e.g. "_tzmgr_discovery._udp.example.com"
With the 10ZiG Manager, our Linux v9 (9.9.x or later) and Windows (XTC Agent 2.0.1.3 or later) devices can query for the manager server location and automatically initiate registration.
The manager now has the capability to automatically register an SRV record with a local Microsoft DNS server, assuming the user has the appropriate privileges. However, if the automatic SRV record creation fails, use the following instructions to manually add the record.
A DNS Service Location record can be created to provide the host name of the computer and port on which the 10ZiG Manager server is located allowing thin clients to “check-in
Open a bash shell using CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + 0 (Do Not Use Numeric Keypad). Type ‘host -t SRV _tzmgr_discovery._udp.yourdomain.local’ - Where ‘yourdomain.local’ is the domain suffix assigned to the client via DHCP.
Open a bash shell using CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + 0 (Do Not Use Numeric Keypad). Type ‘host -t SRV _tzmgr_discovery._tcp.yourdomain.local’ - Where ‘yourdomain.local’ is the domain suffix assigned to the client via DHCP.
The 10ZiG Manager communicates with the various thin clients on several network ports that will conflict with existing DHCP or Active Directory functionality; therefore, it is recommended that the Manager not be installed on computers that already host these services such as domain controllers.
Following are the associated ports for the 10ZiG Manager:
- Network Ports and Purpose
- TCP 3306 - Used by the local MySQL service hosting the Manager database.
- TCP 11132 - The Manager Console retrieves information from the Server via this port.
- TCP 11133-11147 - A Manager Console will register one of the ports in this range, usually 11133, with the Server to receive various notifications.
- TCP 445 - Used in the PXELinux image for authentication to the ImageStore share.
- Client Discovery and Communication Ports
- UDP/TCP 52500 - Broadcast discovery port for Windows (XTC Agent).
- TCP 52510 - This RPC port is used by Manager Server to perform remote operations and queries on Windows (XTC Agent) clients.
- TCP 52511 - This RPC port is used Windows (XTC Agent) clients to notify the manager server when they come online or are going offline.
- TCP 80/443 (HTTP/HTTPS) -These Web ports are used by Manager Server to query information from and perform operations on Linux clients.
- TCP 8001 - The Manager Server publishes firmware update packages for Linux clients on this port.
- Template Port - Linux
- WEBDAV on port 80 for standard connections or a websocket tunnel on client initiated webtunnel in the case of "cloud connected" (default cc port would be 443).
- PXE Boot Ports
- UDP 67 (DHCP/BOOTP)- The Manager Server responds to DHCP/BOOTP requests from this port for PXE-Booting clients for image deployment/recovery.
- UDP 68 (DHCP/BOOTP)- The client listens for responses to DHCP/BOOTP requests from manager server for image deployment/recovery.
- UDP 69 (TFTP) - When PXE-Booting, the PXE configuration and boot image are transferred to the client via TFTP
- Syslog Port
- UDP 51
Cloud Connector Ports
- 443 - or whatever port you assigned the CC.
Tip: If you are unable to PXE boot from your 10ZiG Manager, run a command prompt and type in netstat -abp udp to find out what services are bound to your ports.
A working example should look like this
UDP(DHCP/BOOTP) 0.0.0.0:67
[MgrService.exe]
UDP(TFTP) 0.0.0.0:69
[MgrService.exe]
No, always create a new template from the updated firmware. Often times parameters may have changed in the new firmware that could become corrupt by applying an older template.
Make certain the Image Store path is set in the 10ZiG Manager setup
Copy the image file (.tar) to the image store folder.
If the thin client is on the network the 10ZiG Manager service is running it will displayed in the 10ZiG Manager console.
Right click on the thin client to be updated and select Firmware update.
Select Install if you do not see the firmware you are looking to use to update the firmware. Highlight the firmware to install and select open. This process extracts the .tar into the 10ZiG Manager htdocs folder.
Once the package has been extracted, the firmware will be display as below:
Highlight the package and select Apply.
Select OK to continue with the firmware update.
The update will show in the notification area at the bottom of the console.
Once the firmware update is complete, the thin client will reboot. The 10ZiG Manager will now show the updated firmware.
1. Right click on the 10ZiG Manager ICON in the notification area (lower right) and select Settings.
2. Go to the server tab and then Advanced on the left side and change the logging level at the bottom to debug and save settings. The manager should prompt you to you restart but if it does not, restart manually after this change.
3. From the Windows Application Menu, select 10ZiG Syslog.
4. Double click on the log ICON in the notification tray.
5. Then click on View Log
5. The image below is the log view. If you have email set up on this server/PC you can take the option to email the log file. Support techs will direct you where to send it.
6. You can also grab the log file directly and attach it to an email to send to 10ZiG support. The path to the file is at the bottom of the image above.

The 10ZiG Manager uses UltraVNC viewer for shadowing thin clients. This viewer provides various additional features like chat and file transfer. These features can be accessed via hot key sequences that begin with “Ctrl+Alt
Within the DHCP scope of each remote network segment, define the “Boot Server Host Name
The 10ZiG Manager HELP is the full manual.
No, PXE is part of BIOS and the BIOS only knows about the built in NIC.
No, the 10ZiG Manager communicates with the thin clients using remote procedure call (RPC) and Active Directory relies on remote procedure call (RPC) for replication between domain controllers thus resulting in a conflict if on the same server.
To update if your image is lower than 9.9.4 you must update using a binary image. Contact Tech Support for location and credentials to download updated image.
There are two are options - restore the binary image using the 10ZiG Manager (https://www.10zig.com/manager) or use a thumb drive created by TzImgUtil (See Question 3 under 10ZiG Manager to download the USB Image Utility).
Update using 10ZiG Manager
- Install the 10ZiG Manager and copy the binary file to 10ZiG Manager\ImageStore (created when you install the 10ZiG Manager)
- If the thin client is seen in the 10ZiG Manager, right click on it, select Image Management and then Backup and Restore
- Change the BIOS settings of the thin client to boot from LAN (BIOS password is 10ZIG)
- Boot the thin client and it will PXE boot to the 10ZiG Manager
- When the thin client has booted it will be displaying a recovery menu on the display but do not use that menu, rather use the Image recovery tab. Right click on the thin client to be reimaged (it should now indicate PXE YES with a green dot) and select Restore Binary Image>
- Select the image file to be restored
- The 10ZiG Manager will restore the image and indicate a successful restore when complete
- Right click on the thin client and deselect the PXE boot option
- Reboot the thin client which now has the updated image
The thin client will be moved to the Image recovery tab with PXE set to Yes
If the thin client is not seen by the 10ZiG Manager, click on the Image recover tab and add the MAC address of the thin client using the Add MAC ICON
Update using a USB Thumb Drive
- Download the image utility from our FAQ pages (See Question 3 under 10ZiG Manager to download the USB Image Utility and documentation).
- Extract the utility and run the program to make a USB thumb drive bootable for the utility
- Make certain you format as fat32 and the USB thumb drive needs to be large enough to hold the boot files and the binary fileNote: This program will erase all files on the thumb drive
- Enter the BIOS of the thin client (password 10ZIG) and set the first boot to USB (on some units the option may be USB Zip)
- Boot the thin client using the created USB thumb drive
- Use the menu on the display to restore the image
- Once complete reboot with thumb drive removed to an updated image
WOL uses UDP port 9 and sends a small broadcast to wake up the thin client. For WOL to work the network environment must support “direct broadcasting
Most likely the name of the thin client has been changed to a name with a space in it - remove the space and it will show up in the manager with the correct name.
- Copy all the files from the tftp folder from the 10ZiG Manager install folder to the existing PXE server in the published files directory.
- Place the image in the general repository directory on the existing PXE server.
- Go into the manager server settings (right click on the ICON down near the time on your PC and select settings) - Advanced Tab – Uncheck Enable TFTP server and under the TFTP Host put the IP of the existing PXE server. Boot the thin client in PXE mode and you should be able to restore the image from the existing PXE server.
The database lock is most likely an issue with the anti-virus software installed on the PC - exclude the 10ZiG Manager and MYSQL programs in the anti-virus program and the 10ZiG Manager should pick the thin clients.
Network address translation (NAT) is the process of modifying IP address information in IP packet headers while in transit across a traffic routing device. The 10ZiG Manager uses TCP and UDP ports on the network to communicate with the thin clients and using NAT would not work. If you use the cloud connector you will not need to NAT.
Check to see if the .tar file was renamed when it was downloaded. The 10ZiG Manager looks for a specific naming convention when it starts the firmware option, if that naming convention does not match up to what it requires it will fail. If this is the case, rename the file back to the original name and try the firmware update again.
If the Syslog has messages similar to the ones below, the database is corrupt.

Tera2/V1200/V1206/AIO
First step is to disable single signon... by adding a string entry "AllowSingleSignon" with a value of "false" to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Agent\Configuration on the VM that you want to assign a specific client.
This is done using regedit, or with a GPO. This can be done either on the source for a pool, an individual machine in a pool (but it will be overwritten with a recompose), or for a single non-linked clone vm in a pool. Create a AD user, depending on your client device's autologin requirements for the username naming convention, and then assign that user to that VM.
When the device logs in, it will get its assigned VM based on the username.(Make sure you only assign that user to a single pool/vm). Since single sign on has been disabled, it does not pass the view credentials to the VM... requiring the user to log in.
Then on the V1200 change the connection type to View Connection Server + Auto-logon
You will need an AD account that has rights to that desktop and also enter the pool name to select. The pool I used only has one desktop in it so this V1200 always connects to that desktop only.
PCoIP zero clients support Display Port protocol version 1.1a.
If a device is certified as Display Port 1.2 then it should be backward compatible to Display Port 1.1, the key word in this statement is should. There are monitors that claim to be Display Port 1.2 certified however they are not backward compatible.
The newer units do prompt for a password but the default is no password. Just click on through it and you can then add a password if you so choose.
Please contact 10ZiG Support at support@10zig.com or 866-864-5250 x0 for information on downloading firmware.
Click here to download the Tera2 administrators's guide.
Yes, but to use WOL on a zero client you would need 3rd party software, listed below are some sites for WOL utilities.
Note: 3rd party wake-on-LAN utility software is required to generate WOL packets to send to PCoIP zero clients. Here are some examples WOL utility tools.
Note: Teradici or 10ZiG has not tested these tools and is providing this list for reference only.
- http://download.cnet.com/Wake-On-LAN/3000-2085_4-10486163.html
- http://emcosoftware.com/wake-on-lan
- http://www.wakeonlan.me/
- http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-gui.aspx
Regarding the Management Console, you can use it or the zero client Web UI (AWI) to enable the WOL feature.
For quad monitor to work the Virtual Machine must have enough VRAM to support all four monitors. Make certain that the pool is set for four (4) monitors and the resolution is set at the highest setting. Changing these two parameters will adjust the VRAM high enough to support the four monitors.
Teradici PCoIP zero clients and host cards do not support VLAN tagging. If an environment requires VLAN tagging, the implementation of a network device's (switch / router) VLAN options such as port based VLANs or VLAN tagging is recommended.
The driver comes as a component within the PCoIP Component Installer. The Teradici's virtual audio driver provides bi-directional analog and locally terminated USB audio support for virtual desktops using PCoIP Software such as VMware Horizon.
These devices may need to be bridged to the host rather than being locally terminated please see the document below for inforomation on how to bridge a USB device on a PCoIP zero client.
Yes.
PCoIP zero clients support pre-session smart card authentication for sessions connected to VMware View virtual desktops that meet the system configuration
requirements listed next. For deployments that meet these requirements, PCoIP zero clients can also read and process smart card information and allows SSO (single
sign on) authentication of the user prior to session establishment.
Please click here to read the Teradici document regarding support for pre-session smart card authentication.

PCoIP Zero Client and Amazon WorkSpaces
Please see the document below:
90001200/TER1408002_Issue_1-Connecting_PCoIP_Zero_Clients_to_Amazon_WorkSpaces.pdf.pdf
Make certain you add the printers in the GCP on the printer server and then share the printers with other users.
Currently AWS does not support USB devices (other than keyboard and mouse) on Zero Clients.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/client_help.html (excerpt regarding USB is below.)
Most keyboards and pointing devices are supported by the Amazon WorkSpaces client applications. This includes many different types of USB and Bluetooth input devices. If you encounter an issue with a particular device, report the problem at https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/home#/. Other locally attached peripherals, such as storage devices, are not supported.
Please refer to the Amazon documentation for future updates on USB and printer redirection.

Teradici PCoIP zero clients and host cards do not support VLAN tagging. If an environment requires VLAN tagging, the implementation of a network device's (switch / router) VLAN options such as port based VLANs or VLAN tagging is recommended.
There are three common causes for seeing this message in a host card environment:
- Cabling
- Software settings
- No OS installed on the host
To troubleshoot, first check the DVI connection between the GPU and the PCoIP host card. If the cable(s) appears to be connected properly, confirm that there is a video output by connecting the DVI port of a monitor directly to the GPU's DVI output port. In order for this diagnostic step to be valid, you must not use any adapters (ie: DVI-to-VGA) between the GPU and monitor. Note: PCoIP host cards support DVI inputs only. They don't support VGA inputs, but can support VGA signals through DVI-I connectors. While host cards support DVI input only, VGA can still be supported on the client. See client product specifications to determine if VGA output is supported.
This message may appear for a few minutes when the host PC/workstation OS turns off the monitor due to power management settings, screen saver timeout, or monitor shut down settings. The overlay appears shortly after the monitor is turned off and remains active for a couple minutes before it is eventually removed at which time the monitor is turned off.
This message will appear if there is no operating system installed on the host PC.
This error can appear for the following reasons
- The PC does not have a PCoIP Host Card installed
- The "Host Driver Function" checkbox is not checked on the host SW configuration -> Host Driver Function page
In the second case you MUST reboot the PC and reattempt to install the software as directed below:
- Go to the web address of the host card itself by entering it into to a web browser. Click on the log in button, go to configuration and then Host Driver function.
- Check the box to “Enable Host Driver Function
