Citrix HDX Adaptive transport (EDT)
ThinOS supports Citrix HDX Adaptive transport for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. HDX Adaptive transport enables the ICA
virtual channels to automatically adapt to varying LAN and WLAN connections and improves the data throughput.
For more information about Citrix HDX Adaptive transport, see the Citrix documentation at docs.citrix.com.
Enable HDX Adaptive Transport
About this task
This section describes how to enable the HDX Adaptive Transport policy setting on Citrix Studio.
Steps
1. Go to Citrix Studio > HDX Adaptive Transport policy.
2. Set the value for HDX Adaptive Transport to either Preferred or Diagnostic mode.
For more information about configuration on Citrix Studio, see the Adaptive Transport article at docs.citrix.com.
3. On the ThinOS client, start a session from the Citrix Workspace app.
The connection is established using adaptive transport.
NOTE:
If the connection type is HDX and the protocol is UDP, EDT is active for the session. If the protocol is TCP, the
session is in fallback mode.
For information about how to verify if HDX Adaptive Transport is active, see the FAQs section in this guide.
HDX Adaptive Display V2
ThinOS supports the selective use of a video codec (H.264) to compress graphics during video playback in an ICA session. This
feature combines the H.264 mode and Thinwire Compatible mode for a better user experience.
For more information about HDX Adaptive Display V2, see the Citrix documentation at docs.citrix.com.
