USB Support

Anyware Clients supports redirecting USB devices to a remote session. Administrators can set rules governing allowed and disallowed devices, device classes, or device protocols. 

Supported Xencelabs Pen Displays

Xencelabs Pen Displays are supported in the locally terminated mode, where peripheral data is processed locally at the Software Client. It is also supported in the bridged mode, where peripheral data is sent to the desktop for processing.

Support is available when a connection is initiated from a macOS Client to a Windows Graphics or Standard agent.

Wacom Tablet Support

The Software Client for macOS supports Wacom tablets in two configurations: bridged, where peripheral data is sent to the desktop for processing, and locally terminated, where peripheral data is processed locally at the Software Client.

Audio Support

Stereo audio output and mono audio input are supported and enabled by default. When an audio device is enabled and used in a session, it is saved as user preferences, and becomes available as the default audio for future sessions.

Audio input devices should not be bridged to the remote session. Audio input devices are locally terminated and utilize local OS audio drivers. A bluetooth headset can be supported locally, but cannot be bridged.

Client Modes

The Software Client for macOS supports multiple performance modes to suit different types of workloads. Performance modes are described next. To change the client mode, see Selecting a Client Mode below.

Relative Mouse Support

Relative Mouse is a method of translating mouse movements as a delta from the last mouse position rather than a move to an absolute position on the screen. This type of mouse control is used in many CAD/CAM, Visual Effects and First-Person Gaming software. In a CAD program you may want to control an objects orientation in 3-D with mouse movements.

The Anyware Software Client for macOS captures all keys and redirects them to the remote machine with the following exceptions:

• Anyware Client short cuts appearing under the Connection and View menus.
• Function Keys (F1 to F12) when in system mode.
• The Eject and Power keys.

When the PCoIP Sessions starts, and the Anyware Client is the focused foreground application, all keys, apart from from those outlined above, will be redirected to the remote machine.

Granting Microphone Access for the Anyware Client

The Software Client for macOS must be granted permission to access the microphone to ensure a seamless experience. Without this permission, you will not be able to use the microphone during the PCoIP Session.

Granting Local Network Access for the Anyware Client

The Software Client for macOS must be granted permission to access devices on the local network. If Software Client for macOS is not authorized, you cannot connect to an agent on the same network.

Enabling Accessibility Permissions for the Anyware Client

The Software Client for macOS must be granted the Accessibility permission in order to properly handle and transmit local keyboard actions. If the Software Client for macOS is not authorized, the keyboard will not function in a PCoIP session.
