Sending a Ctrl-Alt-Del Command

To send the Ctrl-Alt-Del keyboard command to a remote workstation, select the Connection > Send CTRL-ALT-DEL menu option.

Connecting to a USB Device

Remote hosts using the Anyware Standard Agent or the Anyware Graphics Agent can use USB devices that are attached to the client. When you connect a local USB device to your remote host it will be disabled on the client machine.

USB device connections do not persist across multiple PCoIP sessions. You must connect your USB device each time you connect.

Changing the Anyware Client Window Mode

You can use the Anyware Client in full-screen or windowed mode. Full-screen mode is recommended in most cases.

Activating Full Screen Modes

The Anyware Client provides two full-screen modes: one monitor and all monitors.

Changing the Language

In addition to English, the Anyware Client also supports these languages: Chinese (Simplified), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Europe), Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. During installation, you can select one of the supported languages.

To change the language after installation:

Using The Collaboration Broker Client Example

The sample Collaboration Broker Client demonstrates how the APIs can be used to customize and control the pre-session and session phases of the Collaboration connection. Invoking the Collaboration Broker Client API is a two-step procedure, where as a first step, the Collaboration Broker Client Example is built.

Using The Broker Client Example

Invoking the Broker Client API is a two-step procedure, where as a first step, the Broker Client Example is built. The second step consists of running either a prebuilt PCoIP binary, or a prebuilt AWS binary.

Supporting USB Devices

Transferring non-HID USB devices from the client to the host is called bridging. Both the Anyware agent on the host machine and the Anyware client must enable bridging before devices can be transferred. Administrators can globally disable USB bridging support, or enforce device whitelists or blacklists, using GPO variables on the host machine. Clients cannot bridge devices that are disallowed by the agent.

Setting Up the Development Environment

Once you have successfully established a session between a Anyware Client and an Anyware host, you can start developing your own Anyware client. To begin, set up your client development environment, as discussed next.

To set up your client development environment:

Setting Up an Anyware Agent Test Environment

Before developing your custom client, you should set up a working Anyware system. HP recommends establishing a small proof-of-concept system for custom client testing, consisting of a host machine with an installed Anyware agent.
