This quick start guide is intended for administrators who are deploying the PCoIP Graphics Agent on Windows systems, who want to get started with minimal configuration. It does not account for special cases, unique configuration requirements, or optional system components.

This quick start guide covers:

   PCoIP Graphics Agent Requirements
   Before You Begin
   Installing NVIDIA GRID Drivers on Windows
   Installing the PCoIP Graphics Agent via RDP
   Connecting to Your Host Desktop Using a Teradici PCoIP Software Client

To understand the conventions and terms used in this guide, see Using Teradici Product and Component Guides and the Teradici Glossary. PCoIP Graphics Agent Requirements

   A host machine which provides the desktop to remote clients. The host can be physical or virtual, in the cloud, or in a data center.
   The PCoIP Graphics Agent software installed on the host machine.
   A GPU. The PCoIP Graphics Agent is compatible with any GPU, but is optimized for NVIDIA GRID-compatible GPUs as well as AMD FirePro (as technology preview). The GPU can be dedicated to the workstation, or shared among virtual workstations by a hypervisor.

For compatibility details, see Windows system requirements in the Teradici PCoIP® Graphics Agent 2.10 for Windows Administrators' Guide. Before You Begin

Before starting, ensure the following requirements are met:

   A supported NVIDIA or AMD driver must already be installed.

   The PCoIP Graphics Agent installer executable must be on the host workstation. The installer can be downloaded from support.teradici.com.

   You must have a license registration code from Teradici.

   You must execute the installer as administrator.

   The following ports must be available on the host workstation: TCP 443, TCP 60443, TCP 4172, and UDP 4172.

   On Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 7, the PCoIP Graphics Agent must be able to simulate Secure Attention Sequence. If SAS is not set, installation will fail.

   SAS is enabled by setting a Windows GPO variable; for more information, see Why does CTRL+Alt+Delete not work on my PCoIP Standard Agent or PCoIP Graphics Agent? (KB 15134-2712).
