Administrator Guide

Enable keyboard layout mode
Steps
1. On the ThinOS client, open Admin Policy Tool or go to the ThinOS 9.x policy settings on Wyse Management Suite.
2. On the Advanced tab, expand Session Settings, and click Citrix Session Settings.
3. In the Basic Settings section, select one of the following options from the Keyboard Layout Mode drop-down list.
● Server Default—ThinOS allows VDA users to use the VDA-side default keyboard when logging in or reconnecting to
VDA. This is the default setting in ThinOS. Any keyboard layout change on the client side is not synchronized to the VDA
session.
●
Specific Keyboard—ThinOS allows VDA users to use a specific keyboard when logging in or reconnecting to VDA. Any
keyboard layout change on the client side is not synchronized to the VDA session. Ensure that you select a specific
keyboard on the ThinOS client before configuring the Admin policy tool or the Wyse Management Suite policy. If not
selected, you must reboot the thin client to synchronize the specific keyboard into VDA.
● Client Setting—ThinOS allows VDA users to synchronize only the VDA-side keyboard with the client-side default
keyboard when logging in or reconnecting to VDA. Any keyboard layout change on the client-side is not synchronized to
the VDA session.
● Dynamic Sync—ThinOS allows VDA users to synchronize the VDA-side keyboard with the client-side default keyboard
dynamically in the VDA session. When the VDA user changes the client keyboard, the VDA keyboard is synchronized
automatically in the session. You must configure both the client and VDA-side settings to enable this mode.
4. Click Save & Publish.
Cursor pattern in ICA session
In ThinOS 9.1.2101, you can change the cursor pattern in the ICA session.
Steps
1. On the ThinOS client, open Admin Policy Tool or go to the ThinOS 9.x policy settings on Wyse Management Suite.
2. On the Advanced tab, expand Session Settings, and click Citrix Session Settings.
3. Enter one of the following values in the Cursor Pattern field to change the cursor pattern:
● ffff,ffff—Enter this value to set the cursor color as black. This value is set by default.
● 0,0—Enter this value to set the cursor color as white.
● aaaa,5555—Enter this value to set the cursor color in a dotted pattern.
4. Click Save & Publish.
For the setting changes to take effect, you must either sign off from the Broker agent or restart the client.
