Welcome to the Anyware Client for Linux 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.
When you connect to a PCoIP session, the Anyware Client for Linux 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).
Enhanced Audio and Video Synchronization provides improved full-screen video playback, reducing the difference in delays between the audio and video channels and smoothing frame playback on the client. This improves lip sync and reduces video frame drops for video playback.
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 Anyware 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 Linux Client to a Windows Graphics or Standard agent.
