Language Support

The Anyware Client for Linux's interface will automatically use the operating system's language setting, if it is supported.

The interface language can be changed to any of the following supported languages:

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.

Displays

The Anyware Client supports a maximum of four displays and a maximum resolution of 4K UHD (3840×2160).

Monitors can be arranged in a vertical line, a horizontal line, or as a 2×2 box display. They can be used in any standard rotation (0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°), with any monitor as the primary display.

Collaboration

PCoIP Ultra Collaboration enables a PCoIP session user to share their session with multiple remote collaborators using Anyware Software Clients.

Client Modes

The Anyware Client for Linux 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.

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.

Managing Connections and Desktops

You can manage connections and desktops that you previously added from the pre-session UI. Follow the instructions detailed in this topic to manage your connections and desktops.

Managing Connections

From the pre-session UI, the following actions are possible:

Disconnecting a Session

To disconnect a PCoIP session:

1. If you are in a full-screen mode, reveal the Anyware Client for Linux menu bar by moving the mouse cursor to the top of a display.

2. From the Anyware Client for Linux menu bar, select Connection > Disconnect.

Preparing for Remote Workstation Card Connections

You can connect to remote workstations equipped with a Remote Workstation Card, and with Remote Workstation Card Software (for Windows or Linux) installed.

Refer to System Requirements for supported versions.

Connecting to an Agent Machine

The Anyware Client for Linux can connect to any remote host with a Anyware agent installed and configured, or a Remote Workstation Card. Remote hosts can be Windows, macOS, or Linux, and connections can be made directly (client direct to host) or brokered through Anyware Manager or a Connection Manager.
