Serial Number
. This is the serial number of your ICA Client software. This number is only necessary when you are
using the ICA Windows-based Terminal Client with a product such as
W
IN
F
RAME
Host/Terminal, which requires each
ICA Client to have a Citrix PC Client Pack serial number. If a serial number is required, you must enter it exactly as it
appears on the Serial Number card. The serial number is not used when connecting to MetaFrame servers.
9
Client Name
. This box allows you to set the name of your client device. Citrix servers use the client name
to uniquely identify resources (such as mapped printers) associated with a given client device. The client
name should be unique for each computer running a Citrix ICA Client. If you do not use unique client
names, device mapping and application publishing may not operate correctly.

Sever Location
This section explains how to:
a. Set the protocol the ICA clients uses
b. Control the way in which the ICA client locates Citrix servers
c. Configure a list of Citrix servers for Business Recovery
The network protocol settings allow you to control the way the ICA client searches for Citrix server and how it communicates
with them. Server location (also called server browsing) provides a method for a user at a network-connected ICA Client to
view a list of all Citrix servers on the network that have ICA connections configured, and a list of all published applications.
The way in which server location works depends on which network protocol has been configured:
9
TCP/IP – The client uses the UDP protocol to search for Citrix servers. The client communicates with the Citrix server
using ICA protocol over TCP/IP. This is the default protocol.
9
TCP/IP + HTTP – The client uses the HTTP protocol to locate Citrix servers. The client communicates with the Citrix
server using ICA protocol over TCP/IP. Select this option when using the ICA Client over the Internet or via a firewall
or proxy server.
