For all Citrix applications, in the Scout Console, you can define Citrix Workspace-App software defaults that are applied to all devices of the relevant OU and subordinate OUs if configured.

The following options are available:

Client drive mapping
COM port mapping
Firewall settings
Citrix keyboard shortcuts
Window properties
Connection options
Bitmap caching

To edit the software defaults, see Software defaults.

Note:

To define parameters in individual configuration files, use the Advanced file entries feature. All parameters defined by using the Advanced ini entries override the software defaults.

Some of the Citrix default options are described below. For further information, see the Citrix documentation.

General tab

Option	Description
TW2StopwatchMinimum	Scrolling speed for remote applications (such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, Microsoft Excel)
	The higher the value, the slower the speed when scrolling
	Note for Excel: A low value increases scrolling speed but delays as soon as a selection is drawn down out of the visible screen area.
	Default = 25
Client name template	Definition of the client name in the Citrix session
Client name template	Note: You can use the Program Neighborhood variables [$ICANAME] and [$ICADOMAIN] to set a unique client session name. This is required for Citrix Roaming and some XenApp programs. For further information, see PNAgent application.

Drive Mapping tab

Option	Description
A-Z	The letters A to Z represent the logic drive names on the terminal server. In the field on the right, you can assign a local resource to a drive letter that is to be shown in the Citrix session.
A-Z	Enter the mount point relating to the local access path of the resource. The mount points are provided by eLux: [/media/usbdisk] or [/media/cdrom]
Attributes E / R / W	Type of access right
	E = enable
	R = read
	W = write
Enable Drive Mapping	Must be selected to enable the defined drive mappings
Enable Dynamic Mapping	Available mass storage devices are assigned to the next free drive letter.

For further information, see Mount points.

COM ports tab

To connect via COM port, the device name of the client device’s COM port is required.

The COM port device name always begins with the string [/dev]. Device names are case-sensitive.

Examples:

Port device name	COM port
[/dev/ttyS0]	COM1
[/dev/ttyS1]	COM2

The availability of COM ports depends on the hardware platform.

Note:

The devices’ ports must be mapped on the Citrix resource (such as desktops) accordingly. To do so, use a net use command. Example: net use com1: ClientCOM2: /persistent:yes.
