Prerequisites
This feature requires Horizon Agent 7.0 or later.
Procedure
1 Tap the Option menu in the upper-left corner of the Horizon Client menu bar and expand the VMware
Blast section.
If you are connected to a server, you can tap the Option menu in the upper-left corner of the desktop
and application selection window, expand the Protocol section, and select VMware Blast. You cannot
change the network condition option after you log in to a server.
2 Congure the decoding and network condition options.
Option Action
Allow H.264 decoding
Congure this option, before or after connecting to Connection Server, to
allow H.264 decoding in Horizon Client.
When this option is selected (the default seing), 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 congure 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 seing.
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.
Displaying Help for Horizon Client
To access the help system from within the Horizon Client app, tap the Option menu in the upper-left corner
of the menu bar, tap the information icon (!), and tap the link under Online Help. You can also display the
help system after you connect to a server or log in to a remote desktop or application.
The help system uses features of your Web browser, as well as some additional capabilities, to help you
access product information. You can search the help using queries that contain quotation marks, wildcards,
and Boolean operators.
