System Requirements  

 

 

Network 

 

• 

The mobile device must be on the same network as the workspace hub.  

• 

Port 55555 must not be blocked between the mobile device and the workspace hub.  

• 

For Citrix Casting, ports 1494 and 8500 must not be blocked.  

• 

Port 55556 is the default port for SSL connections between mobile devices and the Citrix Ready 

workspace hub. You can configure a different SSL port on Pi’s settings page. If the SSL port is 

blocked, users cannot establish SSL connections to the hub.   

Citrix XenDesktop 

 

Citrix Ready workspace hub is supported on Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 and later.   

• 

For session roaming, make sure the Citrix Ready workspace hub can access HDX servers (VDA).   

• 

For session roaming and screen casting, make sure “Use video codec for compression” policy in 
Citrix Studio is set to “For the entire screen.” Failure to do so will cause the screen to crash.
