HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.0 User Guide

In Figure 2-15 Remote Computer can access the local USB devices on page 24, two USB devices are

connected to the Local Computer. Using RGS, the local USB devices can be attached to the Remote

Computer. The keyboard and mouse always remain connected to the Local Computer, and cannot be

attached to the Remote Computer.

The local USB devices can be collectively attached to a single Remote Computer (see

Figure 2-16 The

local USB devices can be attached to only one Remote Computer at a time. on page 25). The local

USB devices cannot be split between multiple Remote Computers nor can they be collectively attached

to multiple Remote Computers.

2.16.1 USB session switching

At RGS 5.1.3, the ability to dynamically move USB devices from one Remote Computer to another was

added. Prior to RGS 5.1.3, it was necessary to first disconnect all RGS connections (sessions) to the

Remote Computers, and then re-establish connections while specifying a new Remote Computer to

attach the USB devices to. With RGS 5.1.3, USB devices can be detached from one Remote Computer,

and made accessible by another Remote Computer without first needing to disconnect the RGS

connections. For details on this, see

Remote USB operation on page 115 .

2.16.2 Isochronous USB support

At RGS 5.2.0, support was added for the USB isochronous data type, which is commonly used for

streaming data devices such as audio and video devices. See

Appendix B: USB devices supported by

RGS on page 218 for a list of supported isochronous USB devices. See Support of sound recording

devices on Microsoft Windows on page 35 for an overview of the two ways USB microphones can

now be used with RGS.

2.16.3 Install-time configuration of remote USB
