Table 5‑24. Translation Table Columns and Values
Column Description
IP Range
A translation rule that species a range of IP addresses for client
systems.
To specify IP addresses in a specic range, use the following notation:
ip_address-ip_address
For example: 10.112.116.0-10.112.119.255
To specify all of the IP addresses in a specic subnet, use the following
notation:
ip_address/subnet_mask_bits
For example: 10.112.4.0/22
This notation species the usable IPv4 addresses from 10.112.4.1 to
10.112.7.254.
Type an asterisk to match any IP address.
Client Name
A translation rule that species a computer name.
For example: Mary's Computer
Type an asterisk to match any computer name.
Mac Address
A translation rule that species a MAC address. In the GPO editor, you
must use the same format that the client system uses. For example:
n
Windows clients use hyphens: 01-23-45-67-89-ab
n
Linux clients use colons: 01:23:45:67:89:ab
Type an asterisk to match any MAC address.
User/Group
A translation rule that species a user or group name.
To specify a particular user or group, use the following notation:
\\domain\user_or_group
For example: \\mydomain\Mary
The Fully Qualied Domain Name (FQDN) is not supported notation
for the domain name. Type an asterisk to match any user or group
name.
Printer Name
The name of the printer when it is mapped to the remote desktop.
For example: PRINTER-2-CLR
The mapped name does not have to match the printer name on the
client system.
The printer must be local to the client device. Mapping a network
printer in a UNC path is not supported.
Printer Driver
The name of the driver that the printer uses.
For example: HP Color LaserJet 4700 PS
I Because print jobs are sent directly from the desktop to
the printer, the printer driver must be installed on the desktop.
IP Port/ThinPrint Port
For network printers, the IP address of the printer prepended with
IP_.
For example: IP_10.114.24.1
The default port is 9100. You can specify a non-default port by
appending the port number to the IP address.
For example: IP_10.114.24.1:9104
Default
Indicates whether the printer is the default printer.
You use the buons that appear above the column headings to add, delete, and move rows and save and
import table entries. Each buon has an equivalent keyboard shortcut. Mouse over each buon to see a
description of the buon and its equivalent keyboard shortcut. For example, to insert a row at the end of the
table, click the rst table buon or press Alt+A. Click the last two buons to import and save table entries.
Table 5-25 shows an example of two translation table rows.
