HP Remote Graphics 4.2.0 User's Guide

Features

HP Remote Graphics Software includes the following features:

∙Application transparency: No modification to applications is necessary to access them remotely.

∙Audio follows focus: The RGS Receiver can be configured to enable audio for the session displayed in the Remote Display Window that currently has focus and is muted for all other remote sessions/windows.

∙Collaboration: Multiple users can simultaneously connect to the same Sender. This allows several users to view and interact with the same desktop. For example, several users at different remote locations can simultaneously view 3D OpenGL applications using a RGS Receiver.

∙Collaboration Notification: The RGS Sender displays a collaboration notification dialog when one or more non-primary connections are active. The dialog displays the users currently connected to the Sender. This provides a reminder to the user that multiple connections to the desktop exist. Individual users can be disconnected using the collaboration notification dialog. See Collaboration Notification for more details.

∙Directory Mode: Directory Mode enables the Receiver to locally lookup pre- assigned systems for a user from a file.

∙Direct3D: Direct3D 8.0 and Direct3D 9.0 applications are supported. Remote access users and remote collaborators can easily interact with Direct3D applications running on a remote desktop. Direct3D applications run using the full power of the graphics adapter. See Enabling Direct3D Applications on Windows for further information.

∙Disconnect primary or non-primary users: The RGS Sender desktop GUI provides the ability to selectively disconnect either non-primary users or all users (both primary and non-primary).

∙Easy Login: Enables fewer authentication steps when connecting to an HP Blade Workstation running Windows XP Pro. See Using Easy Login for more details.

∙Enterprise Service Mode: The Remote Graphics Software Enterprise Service enables a customer to integrate remote graphics into their enterprise directory infrastructure to support assignment of systems to users as well as managing user settings and properties. The Enterprise Service enables roaming usage. Users can work from any location on the network and easily access their assigned systems and settings without re-entering them. The Remote Graphics Software Enterprise Service also allows IT organizations to easily manage user system assignment with their current enterprise directory infrastructure.

∙Hotkeys: The RGS Receiver supports setting user-defined hotkeys for entering Setup Mode as well as other operations.
