HP Remote Graphics Software 6.0 User Guide

In the above examples:
Local user sally is assigned remote computers RC_1, RC_2, and RC_3
Local user joe is assigned remote computers RC_4 RC_5, and RC_6
If the domain name, user name, or remote computer contains white-space characters, the name can
be enclosed in double-quotes, as follows:
"domain 1" "sally user" "RC 1" "RC 2" "RC 3"
"domain 1" "joe user" "RC 4" "RC 5" "RC 6"
The domain name does not apply when using the directory file for Linux users. Instead, use the
keyword "UNIX" in place of the domain name. For example:
UNIX sally RC_1 RC_2 RC_3
Comment lines in the directory file are preceded by the “#” character in the first column.
Starting the Receiver in Directory Mode
Before attempting a connection in Directory Mode for the first time, HP recommends that you verify
that RGS can connect to each computer individually in Normal Mode (see
Using RGS in Normal
Mode on page 41). The Pre-connection checklist on page 25 can be used to verify that the computer
and network parameters are set correctly. After Normal Mode connectivity is verified, start the
Receiver in Directory Mode.
To start the Receiver in Directory Mode in Windows:
Go to Start > HP > HP Remote Graphics Software > HP RGS Directory Mode.
Alternately, the Receiver can be started in Directory Mode from a command line, using either of the
following:
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Remote Graphics Receiver\rgreceiver.exe -
directory “file”
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Remote Graphics Receiver\rgreceiver.exe -
directory
If a file name is specified after -directory, the Receiver will use that file as the directory file. If no file
name is specified, the user is prompted by RGS to specify the path and name of the directory file.
In Directory Mode, the Receiver Control Panel displays the name of the directory file (see
Figure 7-3
The Receiver Control Panel in Directory Mode on page 85). The Change button enables you to
specify a different directory file. The Connect All button is used to establish a connection to the
remote computers listed in the directory file.
NOTE: The RGS Sender is configured to start when the Sender computer boots (or, in the case of
Linux, also when the X server starts).
