Option Value/Format Default Description
viewusb.SplitVidPid
{m|o}: vid-
xxxx_pid-
yyyy([exintf:z
z[;exintf:ww]]
)[;...]
undened Set this option to treat the components of a
composite USB device specied by Vendor and
Product IDs as separate devices. The format of the
seing is
vid-xxxx_pid-yyyy(exintf:zz[;exintf:ww])
You can use the exintf keyword to exclude
components from redirection by specifying their
interface number. You must specify ID numbers in
hexadecimal, and interface numbers in decimal
including any leading zero. You can use the
wildcard character (*) in place of individual digits
in an ID.
Example:
o:vid-0f0f_pid-
***(exintf-01);vid-0781_pid-554c(exintf:
01;exintf:02)
N
Horizon does not automatically include the
components that you have not explicitly excluded.
You must specify a lter policy such as
Include VidPid Device to include those
components.
