Release Notes for Citrix Presentation Server™ Client for Series 80 (Nokia 9500™/Nokia 9300™), Version 4.0

Release Note Version: 2.0

Introduction

This document contains details of new features, limitations, and known issues in Version 4.0 of the Citrix Presentation Server Client for Series 80.

New Features in this Release

Web Interface for Citrix Presentation Server support

You can use the Web Interface to authenticate and launch client sessions.

Secure connection support

You can use TLS/SSL encryption to secure session data between the client and services such as Citrix Access Gateway, Citrix Secure Gateway and Citrix SSL Relay.

Panning and scaling

Because remote sessions are often larger than the actual screen size of the client device, you may need to pan (scroll) the screen to move around the remote desktop or scale (resize) the remote desktop so that you can see it all on your screen.

To pan a remote desktop that is larger than the viewable area on the client device, move the cursor towards the part of the desktop that is off-screen, and it pans into view.

To scale a remote desktop, use the second CBA button (the CBA buttons are the array of buttons next to the screen). This button switches the display between normal and scaled modes. When scaled mode is selected, the remote desktop is scaled to fit your screen.

Client drive mapping

Client drive mapping can make any directory on the client device available to the user during ICA sessions. Users can access their locally stored files, work with them, and then save them again either on a local drive or on a drive on the server.

To enable or disable client drive mapping (it is enabled by default), select Menu > Tools > Preferences > Defaults, then select or clear the Enable Drive Mapping check box.

When drive mapping is configured, the client attempts to use it for all connections. If the server does not support drive mapping, drive mapping is not available.

Transparent clipboard access

Users can cut, copy, and paste text between applications running remotely on the server and locally on the client device.

Right mouse-click support

To send a left mouse-click, press the centre of the navigation key. To send a right-click, hold the CTRL key down and press the centre of the navigation key.

ALT key support

To send an ALT key press to a session, press the CHR key. This is the default behaviour for the CHR key. To switch the CHR key between this behaviour and the conventional Series 80 behavior, press the third CBA button.

Limitations and Known Issues

Reconnecting to Microsoft Windows 2003 Servers with Service Pack 1

The client does not reconnect to sessions on Windows 2003 Servers with Service Pack 1. Citrix Knowledge Base article CTX108150 at:

http://support.citrix.com/kb/entry.jspa?externalID=CTX108150

describes how to solve this issue.

[127619]

Reconnecting to Thinwire 2 sessions

The client uses Thinwire 1 to display client sessions. Attempts to reconnect to Thinwire 2 sessions fail, and the client is disconnected. To avoid this issue, ensure that you do not have any active or disconnected Thinwire 2 sessions when using the client to access applications.

[128007]

Reconnecting to Thinwire 1 sessions

Thinwire 1 reconnects only to sessions that are of the same color depth and screen size as requested. If the existing sessions have different color depth or screen size, a new session is created.

Audio performance

Large sound files may have a long time lag before playing, and may interfere with user input and display. Citrix recommends that you disable sound unless it is required. To enable or disable sound (it is disabled by default), select Menu > Tools > Preferences > Defaults, then select or clear the Enable Audio check box.

[129273]

Starting a session through the Web Interface

When you select an application from the Web Interface, the Web browser prompts you to either Save or Save and Open the ICA file. If you select Save, or if you select Save and Open but the browser does not automatically start the client, use the file manager application
(Desktop > Office > File Manager) to locate and open the saved file. The file is then opened by the client and the session is started.

[129273]

Web browser display issues

With Web Interface for Citrix Presentation Server 4.0, the Series 80 Web browser does not automatically show the advanced options if you select Advanced Options in the Log in dialog box. To see the advanced options, select Advanced Options and then refresh the page (CTRL+R in the browser).

[129273]

Mouse click behaviour

The client sends mouse input data as clicks, so you cannot hold the mouse button down in the session. This means that operations that require the mouse button to be held down, such as dragging icons and windows or viewing menus, are not available.

[129273]

Copying files to client drives

Sessions may time out and disconnect when you are copying files between the server and client drives. Typically this occurs when animations from Microsoft Windows Explorer are being processed. To avoid this issue, copy files using a command prompt.

[128611]

Animated graphics in a Microsoft Internet Explorer Web page cause the client to freeze

Citrix recommends that you disable options to play animations, sounds, and videos in Microsoft Internet Explorer because they can overload the client.

[1611]

Browsing a long list of published applications may cause a time-out

The HTTP browser server has a time limit for listing available applications. If reading the list of applications takes longer than this, the list may be truncated. To retrieve more applications either try again or increase the server time-out value.

[95339]

Sharing clipboard data between client sessions

Copying and pasting clipboard data between two published applications in different sessions sometimes fails. If this happens, try copying and pasting using a local application on the client device.

[128838, 28614]

Erratic keyboard behaviour

If a client session exits unexpectedly, the keyboard may be left in a state where key presses are repeated. To reset the keyboard, click the ICA Client icon. By default, this icon is in the Desk area of the phone.
