Windows Remote Access
* The Citrix Terminal Server has moved to a new system. You might need to update your Citrix ICA client. For Windows, download the Citrix Presentation Server client and only install the Program Neighborhood.
The LRC has a Citrix Terminal Server which allows you to access your LRC Windows desktop remotely from various clients such as Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP, MacOS 8/9/X, Linux, and other Unix flavors. The Terminal Server provides access to applications available in the LRC that students might not have on their home or office systems. Available applications are:

Linux and Unix Setup
If running Red Hat Linux, download the RPM version of the ICA client. To install the RPM use the command rpm -Uvh ica-client.rpm, where ica-client is name of the client file.
To install the other Linux/Unix clients, the client install file must be uncompressed and untarred before installing. Use the commands where ica.tar is the name of the client install file.
The default install location is /usr/lib/ICAClient. See the Unix Client Admin Guide if you are interested in changing the default install location. These instructions use the default location.
1. Start Citrix ICA Client Editor with the command /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr
2. Select New... from the Entry menu and configure using the following settings.
