Welcome to the Software Client for macOS Administrators' Guide.
Anyware Software Clients are applications that establish PCoIP sessions with remote Windows, Linux, or macOS desktops. Connections can be made to Anyware agents installed on virtual or physical machines, or to Remote Workstation Cards in physical workstations.
macOS provides a number of methods for activating Mission Control. Some of these methods are reserved by the Software Client for macOS to allow local use of Mission Control, and others are forwarded to the remote desktop, where the remote macOS system can use them.
When you connect to a PCoIP session, the Software Client for macOS shows your remote desktop as one or more displays. The number of displays it shows is constrained by your local system's available monitors (and the PCoIP protocol itself, which supports up to four monitors).
The following section outlines how to reset a saved desktop in the Anyware Client. You can reset to a virtual desktop by following the steps outlined below:
Click the configure button and select Edit from the popup menu.
Click NEXT on the initial saved connection screen.
Enter your access credentials and click SAVE.
PCoIP Ultra A/V Lock provides improved video playback, reducing the difference in delays between the audio and video channels and smoothing frame playback on the client. This feature introduces a small lag in user interaction responsiveness when enabled. When audio is playing, the video frames will be delayed to align with the audio soundtrack.
To send the Ctrl-Alt-Del keyboard command to a remote workstation, select the Connection > Send CTRL-ALT-DEL menu option.
Remote desktops can use USB devices that are attached to the client, using a process called redirection. USB devices are not automatically redirected to the remote desktop; they must be specifically connected to the session.
Note: Excludes Mice and Keyboards
This section outlines how to configure your Wacom tablet through the Anyware Client session. There are two available features within the Anyware Client that can be used to configure the monitor display and orientation.
USB Connection Instructions
Before you carry out the Wacom tablet monitor configurations below, you must connect to the device by following the instructions outlined in the Connecting to USB Devices section.
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.
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.
