USB Redirection Examples
Each example is followed by a description of the eect on USB redirection.
n
Include most devices within mouse device family.
viewusb.IncludeFamily = "mouse"
viewusb.ExcludeVidPid = "Vid-0461_Pid-0010;Vid-0461_Pid-4d20"
The rst property in this example tells Horizon Client to allow mouse devices to be redirected to a View
desktop. The second property overrides the rst and tells Horizon Client to keep two specic mouse
devices local and not redirect them.
n
Turn on automatic device spliing, but exclude one particular device from spliing. For another
particular device, keep one of its components local and redirect the other components to the remote
desktop:
viewusb.AllowAutoDeviceSplitting = "True"
viewusb.SplitExcludeVidPid = "Vid-03f0_Pid-2a12"
viewusb.SplitVidPid = "Vid-0911_Pid-149a(exintf:03)"
viewusb.IncludeVidPid = "Vid-0911_Pid-149a"
Composite USB devices consist of a combination of two or more devices, such as a video input device
and a storage device. The rst property in this example turns on automatic spliing of composite
devices. The second property excludes the specied composite USB device (Vid-03f0_Pid-2a12) from
spliing.
The third line tells Horizon Client to treat the components of a dierent composite device
(Vid-0911_Pid-149a) as separate devices but to exclude the following component from being redirected:
the component whose interface number is 03. This component is kept local.
Because this composite device includes a component that is ordinarily excluded by default, such as a
mouse or keyboard, the fourth line is necessary so that the other components of the composite device
Vid-0911_Pid-149a can be redirected to the View desktop.
The rst three properties are spliing properties. The last property is a ltering property. Filtering
properties are processed before spliing properties.
I These client conguration properties might be merged with or overridden by corresponding
policies set for View Agent on the remote desktop. For information about how USB spliing and ltering
properties on the client work in conjunction with View Agent USB policies, see the topics about using
policies to control USB redirection, in the View Administration document.
USB Device Families
You can specify a family when you are creating USB ltering rules for Horizon Client, or View Agent or
Horizon Agent.
N Some devices do not report a device family.
