Figure 4. Default ICA
a. Server or Published Application—Select the type of connection to which the settings apply.
b. Connection Description—Enter the descriptive name that is to be displayed in the connection list (38 characters
maximum).
c. Browser Servers—Enter a delimited (comma or semicolon) list of IP addresses or DNS-registered names of ICA servers
that contain the master browsers list, or that can direct to another server that contains the list.
The master browsers list is generated automatically by a browsing program on one of the ICA servers (selected by
negotiation between servers). It is used to provide the information that is displayed in the Server Name or IP box. No
entry is needed if the list is on an ICA server in the same network segment as the thin client. No entry is necessary if the
connection is to a server, or if the server name or IP contains the IP address of the server.
d. Host Name or Application Name (title depends on the Server or Published Application option that is selected)—You
can enter a delimited semicolon or comma-separated list of server host names or IP addresses, or you can select from
the list of ICA servers or published applications that are obtained from the ICA master browser. You can also use Browse
next to the box to make the selection you want.
If you enter a delimited list of servers, the thin client will attempt to connect to the next server on the list if the previous
server attempt fails. If you use the list and the selected connection fails, the thin client will attempt to connect to the
next one on the list.
NOTE:
The Host Name may be resolved using one of three mechanisms: ICA master browser, DNS, or WINS. Master
browser is the only mechanism that can resolve a published application unless manual entry is made in DNS for
