4.C.A. ICA Global Settings

Devices that are connected via USB to the Rangee Thin Client like PDA with Palm OS, Windows CE.Net and Windows 2003 mobiles can be synchronized on ICA-Sessions with server based applications like Outlook. Prerequisite for using this feature is Windows 2003 Server with Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 and Active Sync as synchronisation software. The Citrix website can give you more pointers for installing Active Sync on a terminal server.
The settings for the ICA session are made in the global settings for ICA sessions.
Please concact Rangee Support if you have further questions.
The configuration panel global ICA settings includes connection parameter that can be issued to ICA-sessions on their creation. By activating the option Get server via DHCP the entries for the server group can be distributed by the DHCP-server. For this to work the TAG ID 75 as character code string with <IP-Adress> as value needs to be configured on the DHCP-server.
The option Third mouse button acts as Control+v configures the middle mouse button that only data that has been copied to the clipboard will be pasted at the correct position.
Compress lowers network traffic and needs to be activated on the server side as well. It can have a negative effect on slower servers and will impact the performance and cause problems.
Disable Sound disables sound transfer in the ICA session. Slower networks should use this option to limit the traffic the sessions create.
Serial ports can be mapped into the ICA session by activating the corresponding option.
The option Activesync recognizes via USB connected PDA in ICA-sessions and is able to use server based applications like Outlook to synchronise. Please consider the appropriate server configuration.
Two options are present for mapping connected drives. With Map all disks on a single letter all detected drives will be displayed as folders in one single drive letter. The dropdown menu Map on letter allows you to chose the letter to assign. Alternatively by using map each disk on a different letter all drives can be mapped to indivual letters. Detected drives will be listed and each has its own dropdown menu to assign a drive letter.
By activating the checkbox Enable printers mapping installed printers on the Thin Client will be available for use in the terminal session. The Default printer will be displayed. The access to information regarding available Citrix Server and enabled applications works with the standard network protocol (TCP-IP, TCP-IP via http or SSL/TLS-HTTPS). In case a server farm is in use, at least one server from the Citrix server farm should be entered in primary server group. Alternatively this entry can be made by using DHCP (see above).
If backup farms are available, those adresses can be entered in the fields Server group backup 1 and 2. Multiple server can be entered by separating the entries with a whitespace.
If the ICA-Client should ignore specific error messages they can be defined at ignore error number.
All other options are ICA specific. For further questions, please contact the Rangee Support.
Save your settings with confirm.
 
If global settings are changed afterwards and you want the changes take effect in existing ICA-connections, you need to open the specific ICA-connection and click the confirm-Button.
