Table 3‑10. PCoIP Client Session Variables (Continued)
Setting Description
Configure the PCoIP
session MTU
Species the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size for UDP packets for a PCoIP session.
The MTU size includes IP and UDP packet headers. TCP uses the standard MTU discovery
mechanism to set MTU and is not aected by this seing.
The maximum MTU size is 1500 bytes. The minimum MTU size is 500 bytes. The default
value is 1300 bytes.
Typically, you do not have to change the MTU size. Change this value if you have an
unusual network setup that causes PCoIP packet fragmentation.
This seing applies to the agent and the client. If the two endpoints have dierent MTU size
seings, the lowest size is used.
If this seing is disabled or not congured, the client uses the default value in the
negotiation with the agent.
Configure the PCoIP
transport header
Congures the PCoIP transport header and sets the transport session priority.
The PCoIP transport header is a 32-bit header that is added to all PCoIP UDP packets (only
if the transport header is enabled and supported by both sides). The PCoIP transport header
allows network devices to make beer prioritization/QoS decisions when dealing with
network congestion. The transport header is enabled by default.
The transport session priority determines the PCoIP session priority reported in the PCoIP
transport header. Network devices make beer prioritization/QoS decisions based on the
specied transport session priority.
When the Configure the PCoIP transport header seing is enabled, the following
transport session priorities are available:
n
High
n
Medium (default value)
n
Low
n

The transport session priority value is negotiated by the PCoIP agent and client. If the PCoIP
agent species a transport session priority value, the session uses the agent-specied session
priority. If only the client has specied a transport session priority, the session uses the
client-specied session priority. If neither agent nor client has specied a transport session
priority, or  Priority is specied, the session uses the default value, Medium
priority.
Enable/disable audio
in the PCoIP session
Determines whether audio is enabled in PCoIP sessions. Both endpoints must have audio
enabled. When this seing is enabled, PCoIP audio is allowed. When it is disabled, PCoIP
audio is disabled. When this seing is not congured, audio is enabled by default.
Running Horizon Client From the Command Line
You can run Horizon Client for Windows from the command line or from scripts. You might want to do this
if you are implementing a kiosk-based application that grants end users access to desktop applications.
You use the vmware-view.exe command to run the Horizon Client for Windows from the command line. The
command includes options that you can specify to change the behavior of Horizon Client.
Horizon Client Command Usage
The syntax of the vmware-view command controls the operation of Horizon Client.
Use the following form of the vmware-view command from a Windows command prompt.
vmware-view [command_line_option [argument]] ...
The default path to the vmware-view command executable le depends on your system.
n
On 32-bit systems, the path is C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Horizon View Client\.
n
On 64-bit systems, the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Horizon View Client\.
For your convenience, add this path to your PATH environment variable.
