Installation and Setup Guide

When a user starts Horizon Client, Horizon Client communicates with the AirWatch Agent on the Android
device.
If you configured a list of Connection Server instances or a default Connection Server instance, AirWatch
pushes the server information to the AirWatch Agent on the Android devices.
What to do next
You can use the AirWatch console to edit the Horizon Client application and push those changes to
mobile devices. For example, you can add a default Connection Server instance to the server list for the
Horizon Client application.
Configuring a List of Servers and a Default Server for
Chromebooks
You can configure a list of Connection Server instances and a default Connection Server instance for
Horizon Client on enrolled Chromebooks.
When you configure a list of servers, the servers appear as shortcuts in Horizon Client. If you configure a
default server, Horizon Client automatically connects to that server.
To configure a list of servers or a default server, you must create a JSON configuration file. A Chrome
administrator must use the Google Admin console to upload the JSON configuration file for the
Horizon Client app. For detailed information about using the Google Admin console, see the G Suite
Administrator Help.
For example, the following JSON configuration file specifies a list of servers. The server property
specifies the IP address or host name of the server, the username and domain properties specify the
name and domain of a user that is entitled to use the server, and the description property specifies a
description of the server. The username, domain, and description properties are optional.
