HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.8 User Guide

Typical RGS configuration
The following illustration shows a typical RGS configuration, consisting of a remote computer (sender)
and a local computer (receiver). In this example, the sender is the personal workstation on the left and
the receiver is the mobile workstation on the right. The user’s applications run on the sender while the
user interacts with these applications from the receiver.
Figure 1-1 Typical RGS configuration
The workstation image is transmitted over the network to the receiver, which displays the desktop image
locally in a window. RGS is designed to provide fast capture, compression, and transmission of the
desktop image over standard TCP/IP networks. RGS also captures user keyboard and mouse inputs
from the client and sends them over the network to the sender.
RGS also supports remote USB, which enables a user to connect USB devices to the receiver and have
the USB devices accessible by the sender. In addition, RGS supports remote audio, whereby audio
output from the applications is transported over the network for playback on the receiver.
