HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.0 User Guide

NOTE: At RGS 5.2.5, the capability was added to specify the port number used by the RGS Sender.
The default Sender port number is 42966. The Sender port number can be changed using the
Rgsender.Network.Port property. If this property is used to change the Sender port number from its
default value of 42966, the Sender port number must then be specified in the above Hostname dialog
box, in either of the following formats:
hostname:port number
IP address:port number
For example, if the Rgsender.Network.Port property is used to change the Sender port to 42970, the
Sender IP address in the figure above would need to be modified to include the port number, as
follows:
15.2.76.29:42970
Provide a username and password, as prompted. If the connection succeeds, the Remote Display
Window will be displayed on the Local Computer, showing the desktop session of the Remote
Computer (see
Figure 5-3 Remote Display Window on page 88).

NOTE: If the connection attempt fails, refer to the Pre-connection checklist on page 77 , for a list of
conditions which must be met in order for a connection to be established.
NOTE: If your RGS Sender is not yet licensed, the error dialog in Section RGS licensing on page 12
will be displayed in the Remote Display Window. For information on Sender licensing, see the HP
Remote Graphics Software Licensing Guide, available at
http://www.hp.com/support/rgs_manuals.
NOTE: On Linux, The Receiver Control Panel will not stay on top of other windows in the desktop,
and can therefore get lost. Also, for session managers that support multiple desktops, the Receiver
control panel will not, by default, show up in all desktops. Refer to
Setup Mode on page 89 to
understand how to raise the Receiver Control Panel to the top of the window stack.
