Requirements for Implementing Pano Virtual Client
Pano Virtual Client host PC requirements are shown in Host PC or Laptop Hardware for Pano
Virtual Client. Network requirements are shown in Network and Infrastructure Requirements.
We recommend that you first deploy Pano System for Cloud with any Pano Zero Clients you are
using before moving on to deploy Pano Virtual Client. This will help isolate any deployment issues
that are tied to Pano Virtual Client or Active Directory by ensuring you have functioning back-end
servers and desktop virtual machines.
Host PC or Laptop Hardware for Pano Virtual Client
Hardware Requirements
• CPU: Pentium-class dual-core CPU or better.
• RAM: 1 GB for both Windows XP and Windows 7 as the host OS.
• Hard Drive: minimum of 1 GB of free hard disk space.
• Peripheral Support: Most non-isochronous USB devices are supported. However, isochronous
USB audio/video devices, such as USB web cams and headsets, are not. See USB & Peripheral
FAQs for details.
• Video monitor support: at least equivalent to a G2 Pano Zero Client; and include:
* Support for single and dual monitors from a single graphics card or integrated GPU in
the host PC. Use of more than two monitors is not supported.
* Output via DVI, VGA, HDMI, or DisplayPort as supported by the host PC’s GPU hardware
– inclusion of digital audio out as part of HDMI and Display port output is not supported
* Color depths of 16-bit or 24-bit.
* Video resolution support as listed below even if less than those supported by the host
PC’s graphics hardware and Windows drivers:
• Same set of standard and widescreen resolutions supported by G2 Pano Zero Client along
with the monitor’s native resolution, provided that it is 1920x1200 or less. Resolutions
must also be supported by the underlying host PC’s GPU hardware and Windows graphics
drivers.
• When dual monitors are used, the primary monitor must be placed to the left of the
secondary monitor.
• Landscape monitor orientations – portrait monitor rotation is not supported.
* Wired Network Port: a single wired Ethernet network port, at 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps.
Wireless 802.11 or Wi-Fi networking does work but requires added preparation and has
some limitations and cautions. Any network interfaces you are not planning to use
should be disabled in WIndows prior to installing Pano Virtual Client.
Software Requirements
• Host PC OS – any of:
* Windows XP Professional, 32-bit, SP3
* Windows 7, all editions, 32-bit and 64-bit
• Driver software should already be installed for graphics, audio and networking in the PC.
Drivers for other supported USB peripherals will be installed in the desktop.
• Ideally, no other software should be installed beyond the base Windows operating system and
required drivers. Application and utility software isn’t needed as users will not be able to access
