RGS Sender and RGS Receiver interoperability
RGS provides interoperability between an RGS Sender and RGS Receiver that have the same
primary version number. A connection should only be attempted when their primary version numbers
are the same.
See below for a description of the RGS version number components.
1 Primary release number—A primary release contains sufficient changes such that interoperability with the prior
primary release is not guaranteed. For example, RGS Sender version 5.4 is not guaranteed to interoperate with
RGS Receiver version 6.0.
2 Minor release number—Minor releases introduce new RGS features and functionality. Minor releases will also
include (roll up) the changes in any prior patch releases. RGS 5.4.0 is a minor release.
3 Patch release number—Patch releases are generated only for a security issue or for a major defect in a feature.
A patch release is indicated by this number being non-zero. Therefore, RGS 5.4.0 would not be a patch release.
RGS 5.4.1 would be a patch release.
NOTE: Each release of RGS is a complete release of the entire product, regardless of which components have changed.

Connection types
The following connection types are supported by RGS:
●
One-to-one connection—The simplest RGS connection type is between an RGS Receiver on a
single local computer and an RGS Sender on single remote computer. The entire frame buffer of
the remote computer is displayed in the Remote Display Window on the local computer. See
Creating an RGS connection on page 29 for more information.
●
One-to-many connection (collaboration)—This RGS connection type allows the entire frame
buffer of a remote computer to be transmitted by the RGS Sender to multiple local computers,
each running the RGS Receiver. This configuration is ideal for collaboration because multiple
users can simultaneously view and interact with the same desktop session and applications. See
Collaboration on page 44 for more information.
●
Many-to-one connection (Directory Mode)—This RGS connection type allows an RGS Receiver
on a single local computer to connect to multiple remote computers, each running the RGS
Sender. The frame buffer of each remote computer is displayed in a separate Remote Display
Window on the local computer. This connection type is achieved using Directory Mode. See
Using RGS in Directory Mode (non-touch displays only) on page 56 for more information.
