Other devices, such as network devices, may be restricted for security reasons. For example, USB mice and keyboards are usually policy restricted by default because their behavior is handled automatically in the remote session without USB support. The administrator has set a policy to restrict this type of device. You can see the current connection status in the Current Connection column. Select the Redirect check box to toggle the availability of the device between the remote session and local machine. The device does not have a Citrix virtual channel and cannot be used on the local machine and the remote session at the same time. Workspace allows users access to the entire selection of apps and content on your companys server from anywhere they choose to log in. Citrix Workspace is a cloud-based end-user experience over a unified interface.
For example, select Switch to Generic if the virtual channel does not support the full functionality of the device. Citrix Workspace is the ultimate result of a conversion of all former Citrix products into one unified solution.
You can toggle between Optimized and Generic using the Switch to button in the Virtual Channel column. The Redirect check box is selected and cannot be edited. The Current Connection column for optimized devices shows that the device is connected in both the local machine and the remote session. The device has a Citrix virtual channel and is automatically available in both the remote session and the local machine at the same time.
