Memorial Health Care System uses Citrix in order to allow external users to access internal applications and systems. Before you can utilize this technology, you will need to ensure your system meets certain requirements, and is configured properly. Below you will find detailed information on setting up your computer, if you require more assistance contact Service Desk at (419) 334-6629.
The following lists the requirements for access and receiving support for using the MHCS portal and remote resources. If your system doesn’t meet any of these requirements, MHCS Service Desk will be unable to offer any technical support.
Any computer connecting to the portal is required to have adequate protection from viruses and spyware. In addition to having an anti-virus and anti-spyware program installed, they must be up-to-date with definitions, and be scanning regularly.
You must have access to the Internet in order to access the MHCS portal. If you cannot browse the Internet, you will need to resolve that issue before trying to connect to the portal.
MHCS doesn’t require any type or speed of Internet access, but for best performance a Broadband connection (DSL, Cable, Fiber) is recommended. Using the portal over a dial-up or wireless connection will work, but performance will be degraded.

To reduce the chance for problems accessing the portal sites, it is recommended you add Memorial Health Care System's web addresses to your trusted sites.
When connected through the portal, users will have access to the same printers that are available when they work from an MHCS office. No change or difference exists when printing to devices located on campus.
If a remote user wishes to print to a printer located off site, either at their home or office, the printer must be on the supported printers list. MHCS supports HP branded printers. Other brands, including Brother, Lexmark, Cannon, Ricoh, Xerox, may work if they use HP compatible drivers, but are not supported directly.
Most HP Laser Printers are supported as long as they use the PCL 5 standard drivers. There are several entry level HP printers that are NOT supported. A short list of common printers that WILL NOT work is below.
Inkjet printers from HP that are part of their business line have the best chance of working with the Citrix Environment. The least expensive HP Inkjet printers typically use what are called Host-based drivers. These drivers inherently DO NOT work with a remote environment. If you printer mentions using a Host-based driver it WILL NOT work.
Many printers include Scanning, Coping, Faxing services. These are considered AIO devices. These devices are NOT intended for use in a Citrix environment, and most are not supported. The HP AIO devices that will work are their business level devices in their Office Jet line. Below is a list of OfficeJet Printers that should work.
