Installation and Setup Guide

3 Copy the description of the device and use it to set the appropriate property in the /etc/vmware/config
le.
For a webcam example, copy Microsoft
®
LifeCam HD-6000 for Notebooks and Microsoft
®
LifeCam
HD-6000 for Notebooks#/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-3/1-3.6 to specify the
Microsoft webcam as the preferred webcam and set the properties as follows:
rtav.srcWCamName = “Microsoft
®
LifeCam HD-6000 for Notebooks”
rtav.srcWCamId = “Microsoft
®
LifeCam HD-6000 for
Notebooks#/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-3/1-3.6”
For this example, you could also set the rtav.srcWCamId property to "Microsoft". The rtav.srcWCamId
property supports both partial and exact matches. The rtav.srcWCamName property supports only an
exact match.
For an audio device example, copy Logitech USB Headset Analog Mono to specify the Logitech headset
as the preferred audio device and set the property as follows:
rtav.srcAudioInId="Logitech USB Headset Analog Mono"

Saving Documents in a Remote Application
With certain remote applications, such as Microsoft Word or WordPad, you can create and save documents.
Where these documents are saved depends on your company's network environment. For example, your
documents might be saved to a home share mounted on your local computer.
A Horizon administrator can use the RDS Proles group policy seing called Set Remote Desktop Services
User Home Directory to specify where documents are saved. For more information, see the Conguring
Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
Set Printing Preferences for a Virtual Printer Feature on a Remote
