2 Congure the decoding and network condition options.
Option Action
H.264
Congure this option, before or after connecting to Connection Server, to
allow H.264 decoding in Horizon Client.
When this option is selected (the default seing), Horizon Client uses H.
264 decoding if the agent supports H.264 software or hardware encoding.
If the agent does not support H.264 software or hardware encoding,
Horizon Client uses JPG/PNG decoding.
Deselect this option to use JPG/PNG decoding.
Select your network condition for
the best experience
You can only congure this option before connecting to Connection Server.
Select one of the following network condition options:
n
Excellent - Horizon Client uses only TCP networking. This option is
ideal for a LAN environment.
n
Typical (default) - Horizon Client works in mixed mode. In mixed
mode, Horizon Client uses TCP networking when connecting to the
server and uses Blast Extreme Adaptive Transport (BEAT) if the agent
and Blast Security Gateway (if enabled) support BEAT connectivity.
This option is the default seing.
n
Poor - Horizon Client uses only BEAT networking if the BEAT Tunnel
Server is enabled on the server, otherwise it switches to mixed mode.
N In Horizon 7 version 7.1 and earlier, Connection Server and
Security Server instances do not support the BEAT Tunnel Server. VMware
Access Point 2.9 and later supports the BEAT Tunnel Server.
Blast Security Gateway for Connection Server and Security Server
instances do not support BEAT networking.
3 Click OK to save your changes.
Changes for H.264 take eect the next time a user connects to a remote desktop or application and selects
the VMware Blast display protocol. Your changes do not aect existing VMware Blast sessions.
Horizon Client Data Collected by VMware
If your company participates in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects data from
certain Horizon Client elds. Fields containing sensitive information are made anonymous.
VMware collects data on the clients to prioritize hardware and software compatibility. If your company's
administrator has opted to participate in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects
anonymous data about your deployment in order to improve VMware's response to customer requirements.
No data that identies your organization is collected. Horizon Client information is sent rst to Connection
Server and then on to VMware, along with data from Connection Server instances, desktop pools, and
remote desktops.
Although the information is encrypted while in transit to Connection Server, the information on the client
system is logged unencrypted in a user-specic directory. The logs do not contain any personally identiable
information.
The administrator who installs Connection Server can select whether to participate in the VMware customer
experience improvement program while running the Connection Server installation wizard, or an
administrator can set an option in Horizon Administrator after the installation.
