Chapter 8: Citrix ICA Client for Windows CE

707027-002

Server Location

The ICA Windows CE Client uses the information entered in the Server
Location
tab to locate available Citrix servers and published applications.

The default value entered in the list is Auto-Locate. Auto-Locate
automatically searches your network for the Citrix server that maintains
the list of available Citrix servers and published applications. To use Auto-
Locate
, your Visara and the Citrix server or published application you
want to connect to must be on the same local network.

If you are on another network (for example, if you are on the other side of
a router or across the Internet) you must enter the IP address or DNS
name of a Citrix server on the network that contains the Citrix server or
published application you want to connect to. Visara uses this server to
locate the list of available Citrix servers and published applications on
the network.

Use the Add and Delete buttons to add or delete Citrix servers from the
Address list. Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to order the list
of Citrix servers used for server location. The higher the server appears in
the list, the higher its priority for server location.

You can define a list of servers to contact to determine the master browser.
Up to three groups of Citrix servers can be defined to which you want to
contact: a primary and two backups. The client attempts to contact all the
servers within the Primary group using directed packets; the first server
to respond is then queried for the address of the master ICA Browser. If
none of the servers respond, the client attempts to contact all the servers
within the Backup 1 group. If there is still no response, the client attempts
to contact all of the servers in the Backup 2 group. This process is repeated
each time the user attempts to make an ICA connection.

These options can be set for a particular connection entry or all connection
entries. If both are set, the settings for the connection entry are used.
