TCX USB Virtualizer
Use the TCX USB Virtualizer Configuration Utility dialog box (click TCX USB Virtualizer) to view and manage (add, edit, and delete) the list of current device classes (on the Configuration tab) and to view the list USB devices enabled or denied for use on the thin client (on the USB Devices tab). You can deny a device class, but still permit a USB device in that class to be used, by adding it to the Devices list of the Configuration tab.
Use the following guidelines:
•Enabling USB devices - Select the Enabled check box.
•Allowing or denying USB device classes - On the Configuration tab, select or clear the check box of a device class in the Devices list to allow or deny its use. For example, select Smart Card Devices to permit USB smart card devices to be used to log into virtual machines.
•Adding a USB device - On the Configuration tab, click Add to open the Add dialog box, enter a Device Name, select a class for the device from the Class list, enter the Sub Class, Vendor ID, Protocol, and Product ID, and then click Add. After you reboot your thin client, the name of the new device appears on the Configuration tab.
TIP: You can obtain device Class, Sub Class, Protocol, Vendor ID, and Product ID information by plugging the device into the USB port of your thin client and viewing the information displayed in the USB Devices tab.
•Allowing or denying a USB device - After you add a USB device, its name appears on the Configuration tab. Select or clear a USB device check box to allow or deny its use.
CAUTION: Use caution when using TCX USB Virtualizer on a terminal server, as allowing use of a USB device is global and not session restricted.
