Using RGS in Directory Mode (non-touch displays only)
Directory Mode enables the local user to automatically open connections to multiple remote computers
based on the computers assigned to each user. When the user starts the RGS Receiver in Directory Mode, the
RGS Receiver looks for a directory file containing user names and their assigned remote computers. The RGS
Receiver reads this file to identify the remote computers assigned to the current user, and then attempts to
automatically connect to each specified remote computer. The directory file may contain multiple users with
a list of remote computers assigned to each user. The default directory file used by the RGS Receiver is:
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Remote Graphics Receiver\directory.txt
After the directory file name is determined, the RGS Receiver automatically connects to the remote
computers specified in this file for the named user.
Directory file format
Often, the directory file is a common file for a group, department, organization, or an entire company. The
directory file can manage and administer the remote computer assignments for any number of users. HP
recommends that you save the directory file on a readily-accessible network file share or mapped drive so
that each RGS Receiver can read the file at start-up.
The directory file is a text file with the following format for each local user:
domainName localuser remotecomputer1 remotecomputer2 ... remotecomputerN
where:
●
The domainName on a Windows computer depends upon the environment the currently logged-in user
is operating within. If the user is logged into their domain account, this means they are logged into an
account specified by Microsoft Active Directory directory services. If the domain account is worldwide
\sally, the name of the Windows domain is worldwide and will be used as the domainName for
directory mode.
If the user is logged into the computer with a local account, sally_computer\sally for instance,
the domainName used for directory mode is sally_computer. This typically will be a computer
that is either standalone or part of a workgroup not using Active Directory directory services. The
computer name, such as sally_computer, can be found by executing the command hostname in a
command window.
For Linux users, use UNIX as the domainName.
●
localuser is the name of the local user.
●
remotecomputer1, remotecomputer2 ... remotecomputerN are the remote computers assigned to the
local user, as specified by either a hostname or an IP address.
For example, the following directory file specifies the remote computers for users Sally and Joe in a Microsoft
Active Directory directory services environment:
worldwide sally RC_1 RC_2 RC_3
worldwide joe RC_4 RC_5 RC_6
In the next example, the directory file specifies the remote computers for users Sally and Joe in a standalone
or workgroup environment.
sally_computer sally RC_1 RC_2 RC_3
joe_computer joe RC_4 RC_5 RC_6
