Client aggregation
The thin client supports up to four monitors. If you need additional screen real estate, client
aggregation allows up to four thin clients to be combined together, controlled by a single keyboard
and mouse. Because each thin client supports up to four monitors, client aggregation allows up to
four computers and 16 monitors to be controlled by a single keyboard and mouse, without the need
for additional hardware or software.
Client aggregation overview
Assume that you have four thin clients, each with 4 monitors. Using the Display Preferences dialog,
the thin clients and their monitors are configured as shown—each thin client is configured with a 2x2
array of monitors.
Client aggregation allows you to arrange the four thin clients on a 4x4 grid. The following illustration
shows one possible arrangement of the thin clients arranged in a rectangular array using the 4x4 grid.
In moving the mouse pointer off the right side of the thin client A monitors, for example, the pointer
will appear on the left side of the thin client C monitors. Likewise, keyboard input will be redirected
from thin client A to thin client C.
Following is another arrangement of the thin clients on the 4x4 grid, and the resulting arrangement of
the monitors.
