Default ICA—Options
Use the following guidelines on the Options tab:
Auto-connect to local devices—Select any options (Printers, Serials, USB, Smart Cards, Sound, and 
Disks) to have the zero client automatically connect to the devices (an ICA session will not 
automatically connect to a device through a serial port).
Turn compression off—When selected, turns compression off (intended for high-speed 
connections).
Optimize for low speed link—When selected, allows optimization for low-speed connections, such 
as reducing audio quality or decreasing protocol-specific cache size. Intended for a connection 
spanning a WAN link or using dialup.
Map all disks under (z:)—When selected, maps all disks under the Z drive.
Enable session reliability—When enabled, session reliability allows a user to momentarily lose 
connection to the server without having to re-authenticate upon regaining a connection. Instead of 
a user’s connection timing out after X seconds, the session is kept alive on the server and is made 
available to the client upon regaining connectivity. 
Allow font smoothing—When selected, enables font smoothing (smooth type).
Mouse queue timer—Specifies the default queue timer of a mouse event in an ICA or RDP session 
(in 1/100 of a second). It can be used to adjust the bandwidth of a network.
Configuring RDP Connections
In a Virtual Desktop environment, an RDP connection will be assigned by the Virtual Desktop Broker; 
you do not need to create an RDP connection manually. The Virtual Desktop Broker virtual machine can 
be reset from the zero client by opening the Connection Settings dialog box of the virtual machine, and 
then clicking the reset button (appears in the top-right of the dialog box).
