Establishing a Server Environment 19
Configuring ICA Session Services
ICA session services can be made available on the network using either of the following
services:
• Windows 2000 or 2003 Server with Terminal Services and one of the following
installed:
• Citrix MetaFrame XP
• Citrix Presentation Server
Use the instructions accompanying these products to install them and make sessions and
applications available to the thin clients sharing the server environment. If PNAgent/
PNLite-published application services are to be made available to the thin clients, refer to
"PNAgent/PNLite Installation Guidelines" when installing Citrix MetaFrame XP.
Be aware of the following:
• If a Windows 2000 or 2003 Server is used, a Terminal Services Client Access License
(TSCAL) server must also reside somewhere on the network. The server will grant a
temporary (90-day) license on an individual device basis. Beyond the temporary
(90-day) license, you must purchase TSCALs and install them on the TSCAL server
(you will not be able to make a connection without a temporary or permanent license).
• Any ICA connection which traverses a Dial-up or WAN connection, generally should
have the Optimize for low speed link option selected in the user profile or the
Connection Settings (ICA) dialog box.
• If an ICA connection is created using the Connect Manager and the Host Names or
Application Name text box is left blank, a message appears prompting the user to enter
the IP Address or Server Name of the ICA server to which to connect.
• An audio input port is available (Audio can be recorded).
PNAgent/PNLite Installation Guidelines
PNAgent/PNLite is a component of the Citrix XML publishing service. PNAgent/PNLite is
an ICA connection mode that enables the thin client to connect to applications available
(published) on an ICA server without having to configure connections for individual
published applications.
Use the following guidelines during installation:
• MetaFrame XP - supports XML publishing services and during installation presents a
series of prompts. During installation, you will be given an option to install the XML
publishing service. Clicking Yes to this option allows you to change the default port
(80) used by the service.
• Citrix Presentation Server - supports XML publishing services and during installation
presents a series of prompts.
The port to be used for XML publishing services must be known for making the PNAgent/
PNLite server location entries as appropriate to the operating mode requirements (for
related information, refer to "Configuring DHCP," instruction on locally configuring the thin
client Network Setup dialog box, and the "Using the User Profile ini File Command Set").
The thin client uses port 80 as the default, but if a port other than 80 is used, the port
number must be specified explicitly with the PNAgent/PNLite server location in the form
IP:port or name:port.
