Managing Client Accelerator Endpoints : Configuring endpoint settings for policies
  
Configuring endpoint settings for policies
You configure endpoint settings for Client Accelerator endpoints on the Endpoint Settings tab of the Manage > Services: Policies page. Endpoint settings include the Client Accelerator RiOS data store size, log size, adding additional Client Accelerators, Windows-only settings, and enabling visibility of the Client Accelerator in the system tray.
When you configure endpoint settings, you must remove the Client Accelerator labeled with the (localhost) suffix. This special Client Accelerator is the localhost, and when the policy is created, it is replaced by the Client Accelerator sending the policy, leading to an incorrect IP address. Instead of using the Client Accelerator labeled (localhost), use only the fully qualified domain name or the IP address for that Client Accelerator.
Carefully consider the RiOS data store size of your Client Accelerator endpoint. You can modify the Client Accelerator RiOS data store size at any time in a policy in the Endpoint Settings tab. However, changing the RiOS data store size requires clearing the data store, which can temporarily slow performance.
Controller settings
Add a New Controller displays the controls for adding a new Client Accelerator to the list.
Insert At
Select start, end, or a Client Accelerator number from the drop-down list. The default value is end.
Specify the order in which endpoint clients connect with Client Accelerators.
Client Accelerators
connect according to the number you specify, starting with 1. If the system is unable to connect to 1 in the list, the system moves on to the next Client Accelerator in the list. For example, if the system is unable to connect to Client Accelerator 1, then Client Accelerator 2 is attempted. If Client Accelerator 2 is successful, no further Client Accelerators in the list are attempted.
Hostname/Port
Specify a fully qualified hostname or IP address and port for a Client Accelerator that the client connects to. You can specify more than one Client Accelerator. The default port value is 7870.
Use Random Ordering of Controllers when Connecting
Select the check box to disregard the Client Accelerator priority list and randomly connect to Client Accelerators in the group. The default setting is disabled.
To configure endpoint settings
By default, a value for the local Client Accelerator is already in the list. In a clustered deployment, the entry should be removed and replaced with an explicit entry for the local Client Accelerator.
1. Choose Manage > Services: Policies to display the Policies page.
2. Click the policy name to display the policy tabs and select Endpoint Settings.
The Endpoint Settings page appears with the Controller Settings tab displayed.
3. Configure the controller settings as described in this table.
4. Select the Desktop Settings tab to configure endpoint settings for desktop licenses.
To remove an entry
Select the check box next to the entry and click Remove Selected Controllers.
Desktop license settings
You can configure these desktop license settings.
General settings
Show Client in the System Tray—Select the check box to display the Client Accelerator in your client machine system tray. The default setting is enabled.
When you enable Show Client in the System Tray, the endpoint user can override policy settings made by the system administrator. Even if a new policy is sent to the client, the settings in the client remain in effect until the endpoint user clicks Reset under Settings > Reset to Administrator policy.
Allow User to Modify Optimization Settings—Select the check box to enable the Client Accelerator user to modify optimization settings. The default setting is enabled.
Data store settings
Data Store Size—Select one of these options from the drop-down list. The minimum value is 256 MB. The default value is 10 GB.
256 MB = 81 MB RAM
512 MB = 81 MB RAM
1 GB = 81 MB RAM
2 GB = 100 MB RAM
5 GB = 112 MB RAM
10 GB = 161 MB RAM
15 GB = 171 MB RAM
20 GB = 228 MB RAM
The amount of RAM used by the optimization service on the Client Accelerator is related to the Client Accelerator RiOS data store size that you select. If the Client Accelerator is visible on the client computer, the Data Store Size Auto setting for RiOS data store size means the client is using the size specified in the policy.
Carefully consider the RiOS data store size for your Client Accelerator endpoints. Changing the size later requires emptying the RiOS data store, which temporarily slows performance.
Log settings
Maximum Log Size—Specify the maximum size for your log files to be stored on your client machine. The default value is 5000 KB.
Windows-Only Settings
Disable TCP/IP Checksum Offloading (Requires client reboot)—For Windows only. Select the check box to disable TCP/IP checksum offloading.
After you apply your settings, you can verify whether changes have had the desired effect by reviewing related reports. After this verification, you can write the active configuration that is stored in memory to the active configuration file (or you can save it as any filename you choose). For details on saving configurations, see Managing configurations.
