Changing the Way You Use the Client 

ICA technology is highly optimized and typically does not have high CPU and bandwidth 
requirements. However, if you are using a very low-bandwidth connection, you should 
consider the following to preserve performance

 

1. 

Avoid accessing large files using client drive mapping

. When you access alarge file 

with client drive mapping, the file is transferred over the ICA connection. On slow 
connections, this may take a long time. 

2. 

Avoid printing large documents on local client printers

. When you print a document 

on a local client printer, the print file is transferred over the ICA connection. On slow 
connections, this may take a long time. 

3. 

Avoid playing multimedia content

. Playing multimedia content uses a lot of bandwidth 

and can cause reduced performance. 

 

6.1.2.3.3 Specifying an Application to Run at Connection 

Use the 

Application 

page in the 

Properties 

dialog box to specify an application to run when 

you connect using the connection entry. If you specify an application, you do not see the 
MetaFrame server desktop when you connect and the connection is closed when you quit the 
application. 

z

 

To specify an application to run at connection 

1.  From the ICA Client window, select the connection entry that you want to change. 
2. From 

the 

Properties 

page, select 

Application 

from the drop-down list to display the 

Application 

page. 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

3. In 

the 

Application 

field, you can specify the pathname of an application to be run after 

connecting to a MetaFrame server.
