Configuring and Managing Terminal-Desktop Binding

Scenarios

Administrators can enable, disable, modify, delete, and export terminal-desktop binding relationships on the management console.

Enabling Terminal-Desktop Binding

1. Log in to the console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Policies > Terminal-Desktop Binding.

   The terminal-desktop binding list is displayed.

3. Enable or disable the terminal-desktop binding function as required.
4. Enable terminal-desktop binding:
   1. Click Binding Settings. The Binding Settings dialog box is displayed.
   2. On the displayed dialog box, toggle on the switch of Device-Desktop Binding.
   3. Determine whether to toggle on the switch of Automatically bound upon access and set Number of Bound Terminals (value range: 1–10).
      

      • Automatically bound upon access can be enabled only after Device-Desktop Binding is enabled.
      • After Automatically bound upon access is enabled, the MAC address is automatically bound when the cloud desktop is accessed from a terminal.
   4. Click OK, as shown in Figure 1.

Creating a Binding Relationship

To restrict the application scenarios of a desktop, the administrator can bind the MAC address of a terminal to a desktop so that only the bound terminal can be used to log in to the desktop.

• The name of the desktop to which the terminal is to be bound has been obtained on the Workspace console.
• The MAC address of the terminal to be bound has been obtained. For details, see How Do I Obtain the MAC Address of a Terminal?

1. In the navigation pane, choose Policies > Terminal-Desktop Binding.

   The terminal-desktop binding list is displayed.

2. Manually add binding relationships or enter binding relationships in batches based on the number of binding relationships.
   • Manual entry: If a small number of desktops need to be bound to terminals, you can manually add the information.
     1. Click Add Manually.
     2. On the displayed page, enter the MAC address, desktop name, and description, as shown in Figure 2.
        

        • The MAC address format is xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.
        • One MAC address can be bound to multiple desktops.
        • A desktop can be bound to multiple MAC addresses.
        • By default, a maximum of 100,000 binding relationships are allowed. If exceeded, the information cannot be added.

     3. Click Add Rows if multiple terminals need to be bound.
     4. Click OK.
   • Batch entry: If a large number of desktops need to be bound to terminals, you can batch add the information.
     1. Click Batch Add.
     2. On the displayed page, click Download Template.
     3. Open the downloaded template and enter the serial number, MAC address, desktop name, and description, as shown in Figure 3
        

        • The MAC address format is xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.
        • One MAC address can be bound to multiple desktops.
        • A desktop can be bound to multiple MAC addresses.
        • The maximum size of a file to be uploaded at a time is 1 MB, and only the .xlsx format is supported.
        • Information cannot be added if there are more than 100,000 binding relationships. Information of up to 1,000 binding relationships can be added at a time.

     4. Save and close the template file containing the binding information.
     5. On the page of batch entry, click Upload.
     6. Select the file in which the binding information has been filled in 2.d and click Open.

        The system verifies the correctness of the imported data and compares the data with that of the existing binding relationships.

        • If a message indicating successful upload is displayed, the binding relationships in the file have been uploaded to the system. After clicking Close, you can view the uploaded binding relationships on the Terminal-Desktop Binding page.
        • If a message indicating failed upload is displayed, the binding relationships in the file were not uploaded to the system. You can click Details to check the exception cause, modify the uploaded file accordingly, and upload the file again by following 2.d to 2.f. If some binding relationships pass the verification, you can click OK to upload the verified binding relationships to the system. If you click Cancel, the batch data upload is canceled.

          

          

          If the format of the imported information is correct and the information does not conflict with any existing binding relationships, but a message indicating upload failure still appears, click Re-upload to try again. If the upload still fails, submit a service ticket for technical support.

Modifying a Binding Relationship

If the binding relationship between a terminal and a desktop is incorrect or needs to be adjusted, the administrator can modify the existing binding relationship.

1. In the navigation pane, choose Policies > Terminal-Desktop Binding.

   The terminal-desktop binding list is displayed.

2. Find the binding relationship to be modified.
   • Enter the MAC address or desktop name in the search box and click to find the binding relationships to be modified.

     

   • Find the binding relationships to be modified in the binding relationship list.

3. Click Edit in the Operation column of the desired binding relationship.
4. Modify the MAC address, desktop name, and description as required, and click OK.

Deleting a Binding Relationship

If you do not need to restrict the terminals that are allowed to log in to a desktop, you can delete the existing binding relationships.

1. In the navigation pane, choose Policies > Terminal-Desktop Binding.

   The terminal-desktop binding list is displayed.

2. Find the binding relationship to be deleted.
   • Enter the MAC address or desktop name in the search box and click to find the binding relationships to be deleted.

     

   • Find the binding relationships to be deleted in the binding relationship list.

3. Select a deletion method based on the number of binding relationships to be deleted.
   • Individual deletion: You can delete one single desktop binding relationship.
     1. Click Delete in the Operation column of the desired binding relationship.
     2. Click OK.
   • Batch deletion: If a large number of desktop binding relationships need to be deleted, you can delete them in batches.
     1. Select the desired binding relationships and click Delete above the relationship list. The deletion confirmation page is displayed.
     2. Confirm the deletion, enter DELETE or click Auto Enter, and click OK.

Exporting a Binding Relationship List

The administrator can export the binding relationships recorded in the system to the local computer.

1. In the navigation pane, choose Policies > Terminal-Desktop Binding.

   The terminal-desktop binding list is displayed.

2. Click Export to export the existing binding relationship list.

Disabling Terminal-Desktop Binding
