Workspace Environment Management

Ports

The Ports feature allows client COM and LPT port mapping. You can also use Citrix Studio policies to enable automatic connection of COM ports and LPT ports. For more information, see Port redirection policy settings.

If you use the Ports feature to manually control the mapping of each port, remember to enable the Client COM port redirection or the Client LPT port redirection policies in Citrix Studio. By default, COM port redirection and LPT port redirection are prohibited.

Tip:

You can use dynamic tokens to extend Workspace Environment Management actions to make them more powerful.
