Using SpeedScreen Latency Reduction
SpeedScreen Latency Reduction can improve the performance of
low speed connections by decreasing bandwidth consumption and
total packets transmitted.
Note: SpeedScreen will only work when it is available
on the Citrix server you are connecting to, and it has been enabled
by the administrator.
To change the SpeedScreen settings
- Select the name of the connection you want in the Citrix
ICA Client window. Click the Properties button:
- Select the Connections page.
- In the SpeedScreen section there are two list boxes, Local
Text Echo and Mouse Click Feedback. Local Text
Echo accelerates display of the input text, effectively shielding
you from experiencing latency on the network. Mouse Click
Feedback provides visual feedback of a mouse-click, in that
the mouse pointer is immediately changed to an hourglass indicator.
Select a mode from the drop-down list:
- For slower connections (for example if you are connecting
over a WAN or a dial-in connection), set mode to On to decrease
the delay between user input and screen display. Choose either
Mouse Click Feedback or Local Text Echo.
- For faster connections (for example, if you are connecting
over a LAN), set mode to Off.
- If you are not certain of the connection speed, set mode
to Auto to turn SpeedScreen on or off depending on the
latency of the connection.
Note: You can override Auto mode using the Toggle SpeedScreen
hotkey (SHIFT+F12).
