Chapter 5. The Client Viewer
Smart Card Reader
Note: This feature is only available when using the WinClient Viewer or the Windows Client AP.
The smart card reader function allows a reader plugged into a local client computer’s USB port to be redirected, and appear as if it were plugged into the remote server. One purpose of smart cards (Common Access Cards, for example), is to allow authentication to the remote server from the local client.
When a smart card reader is connected to the local client computer, an entry for it appears when you bring up the Virtual Media dialog box and click Add:
Make your selection; then click Mount to complete the redirection.
Note: If you mount a smart card reader, you cannot mount any other virtual media device. If any virtual media devices are already mounted, you must unmount them before you can mount the smart card reader.
Zoom
The Zoom icon controls the zoom factor for the remote view window. Settings are as follows:
Setting | Description |
|
|
100% | Sizes and displays the remote view window at 100%. |
|
|
75% | Sizes and displays the remote view window at 75%. |
|
|
50% | Sizes and displays the remote view window at 50%. |
|
|
25% | Sizes and displays the remote view window at 25%. |
|
|
1:1 | Sizes and displays the remote view window at 100%. The difference |
| between this setting and the 100% setting is that when the remote |
| view window is resized its contents don’t resize – they remain at the |
| size they were. To see any objects that are outside of the viewing |
| area move the mouse to the window edge, to have the screen scroll. |
