Citrix DirectICA for MetaFrame adds support for multi-VGA adapters to Citrix
MetaFrame Application Server for Windows. A multi-VGA adapter (also called a
multiconsole adapter) is a hardware device that contains several VGA video
adapters with additional support hardware. Each multi-VGA adapter appears to
the server as several VGA video adapters, each with an accompanying keyboard,
mouse, and optional serial and parallel ports, depending on the manufacturer and
model. The only limit to the number of multi-VGA adapters that you can install is
your license count.
The combination of a keyboard, mouse, and monitor attached to a port on the
multi-VGA adapter is referred to as a DirectICA station. MetaFrame treats
connections associated with DirectICA stations much like the system console; the
devices (serial and parallel ports) associated with the DirectICA station are on the
server computer itself. Any serial or parallel ports associated with a DirectICA
station are given unique device names and are treated as ports on the server
computer. Because the ports are on the server, DirectICA stations do not support
drive mapping, COM port mapping, or printer mapping.
