To enable the relative mouse feature in the Classic mode, do the following:
1. Connect to a remote desktop using the PCoIP display protocol.
2. Right-click the remote desktop icon on the ThinOS taskbar.
3. Click Enable Relative Mouse.
NOTE: To disable the relative mouse feature, right-click the remote desktop icon on the ThinOS taskbar, and click
Disable Relative Mouse.
To enable the relative mouse feature in the Zero mode, do the following:
1. Connect to a remote desktop using the PCoIP display protocol.
2. In the ThinOS connection menu, click the A icon that is displayed after the PCoIP session name.
NOTE: To disable the relative mouse feature, click the R icon that is displayed after the PCoIP session name.
For Blast enabled thin clients
1. Add SessionConfig=Blast EnableRelativeMouse=yes into the INI file.
2. Reboot the thin client.
You can see the entry [Horizon] enable relative mouse in the event log if Relative Mouse is enabled.
USB device splitting in Blast session
ThinOS supports the USB device splitting feature on the Nuance Dictaphone PowerMic II microphone in a Blast session. The
USB device splitting feature enables you to split the composite device into its components. To enable this feature, use the
following INI parameters:
Device=vusb InterfaceRedirect=yes
Device=vusb ForceRedirect=0x00,0x00,0x03,0x00,0x00
SessionConfig=Blast viewusb.IncludeVidPid=Vid-0554_Pid-1001
viewusb.SplitVidPid=Vid-0554_Pid-1001(exintf:00;exintf:01;exintf:02)
After you enable the USB device splitting feature, the buttons on the PowerMic II are redirected to the blast session, and the
audio mapping is retained in the local device.
For more information about the supported USB devices and USB configurations, see the Nuance SpeechMagic VMware View
Extension - Supported USB Devices and USB Configuration article at kb.vmware.com.
Supporting Teradici SDK
The PCoIP Client Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of libraries and binaries that you can use to build or customize a
PCoIP client.
ThinOS supports the Teradici SDK version 2.9.
User scenario:
● Behavior with earlier Teradici SDK versions: You were able to switch the USB disk redirection between sessions. For
example, plug in the USB disk, and connect the desktop 1 and 2. The disk is redirected to desktop 1. If you disconnect from
desktop 1, then the USB disk is redirected to desktop 2.
● Behavior with Teradici SDK version 2.9: When you disconnect from desktop 1, the USB disk is not redirected to desktop 2.
You must remove the USB disk and plug in the USB disk again for redirection.
Configuring PCoIP connections using Teradici Remote Workstation
card
In ThinOS 8.6, you can directly configure the PCoIP connection using either the TERA2240 Remote Workstation Card or
TERA2220 Remote Workstation Card. This feature is supported only on PCoIP-enabled thin clients. This feature only works with
the direct PCoIP connection, and does not work when you connect using the Horizon View broker.
