COM port mapping

Client COM port mapping allows devices attached to the client computer's COM ports to be used during ICA sessions on a Citrix server. These mappings can be used just like any other network mappings.

To map a client COM port:

1. Start the ICA Client and log on to the Citrix server.
2. Start a DOS command prompt.
   1. On a WinFrame server, double-click Command Prompt in the Main program group.
   2. On a MetaFrame server, click Start, then click Programs, then click Command Prompt.
3. At the command prompt type: net use comx: \\client\comz: (where x is the number of the COM port on the server [ports 1 through 9 are available for mapping] and z is the number of the client COM port you want to map).
   1. Example: If COM1 on the server is mapped to COM5 on the workstation, map the COM port for all sessions with the following command: net use com1: \\client\com5:
4. Press ENTER.
5. To confirm the operation, type at the command prompt: net use
