This section describes manual and automatic installation of the RGS Receiver on Windows.
Manual installation of the RGS Receiver on Windows
To install the RGS Receiver on Windows:
IMPORTANT: Be sure you are logged in to an account with administrator privileges before
performing installation:
1. Run the RGS Receiver installer, and follow the on-screen instructions.
2. During the installation, the Remote USB Configuration dialog is displayed.
The three Remote USB Configuration options are:
●
USB devices are Local—All USB devices will remain local and will be accessible only by
the local computer. None of the USB devices will be accessible by a remote computer.
●
USB devices are Remote—All USB devices can be accessed by the remote computer, and
none of the USB devices can be accessed by the local computer.
●
USB devices are Local/Remote—Whether USB devices are locally or remotely accessible
depends on when they are plugged into the local computer relative to establishment of an
RGS connection (see
Auto-remoting on page 51 for more information).
Select the USB configuration option that meets your needs, and click Next.
To see additional information, select I’m not sure, I want more information, and click Next.
NOTE: The Remote USB configuration cannot be changed after installation of the RGS Sender
and Receiver. To select a different USB configuration option, the RGS Sender or Receiver must
be uninstalled and reinstalled.
