Installation Instructions

  1. Open a web browser.
  2. Go to http://www.busserv.ucsb.edu/barc/macfiles.htm.
  3. While holding down the control key, click on the link for the OS X Client.
  4. Choose "Download link to disk" from the pop-up menu.
  5. Click Save to accept the defaults (Save As: osx.dmg, Where: desktop)
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 for each of the four Connection Scripts.
  7. Double-click on the osx.dmg file on your desktop.
  8. Drag the Citrix ICA Client folder to your Applications folder.
  9. Double-click on the 800-barc.ica file on your desktop.
  10. If a text file opens instead of the Citrix ICA application, close the window and drag the .ica file to the Citrix ICA application. After the first association with Citrix, the connection script should appear with a Citrix icon.
  11. A connection to the Terminal Server is launched and the BARC logon page appears.
  12. The window size is not resizeable. If you cannot see all four edges of the window, choose "Best Window Position" from the File menu and see if that helps. If it doesn't, close the window and try the smaller 640-barc.ica file. If the window could be larger, try the next largest 1024-barc.ica connection. If the window could be larger still, try the 1280-barc.ica connection file.
  13. The size of the window in which the BARC application is displayed does not affect the size of the fonts within the window. If you prefer a larger font size, lower the resolution of your monitor.
  14. After you determine which connection script works best for your monitor size and resolution, drag the other three connection scripts to the trash. You may redownload a new connection file from the http://www.busserv.ucsb.edu/barc/macfiles.htm web page at any time.
  15. Drag the osx.dmg file to the trash.
  16. Drag the Citrix ICA Client drive to the trash/eject.
