Table 14‑11. View Agent Configuration Template: Device-Splitting Settings
Setting Properties
Allow Auto Device
Splitting
Property:
AllowAutoDeviceSplitting
Allows the automatic splitting of composite USB devices.
The default value is undefined, which equates to false.
Exclude Vid/Pid Device
From Split
Property: SplitExcludeVidPid
Excludes a composite USB device specified by vendor and product IDs from
splitting. The format of the setting is {m|o}:vid-xxx1_pid-yyy2[;vid-xxx2_pid-
yyy2]...
You must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal. You can use the wildcard character (*)
in place of individual digits in an ID.
For example: o:vid-0781_pid-55**
The default value is undefined.
Split Vid/Pid Device
Property: SplitVidPid
Treats the components of a composite USB device specified by vendor and product
IDs as separate devices. The format of the setting is
{m|o}:vid-xxxx_pid-yyyy(exintf:zz[;exintf:ww])
or
{m|o}: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.
For example: o:vid-0781_pid-554c(exintf:01;exintf:02)
NOTE View does not automatically include the components that you have not
explicitly excluded. You must specify a filter policy such as Include Vid/Pid
Device to include those components.
The default value is undefined.
View Agent-Enforced USB Settings
The following table describes each agent-enforced policy setting for USB in the View Agent Configuration
ADM template file. View Agent uses the settings to decide if a USB device can be forwarded to the host
machine. View Agent also passes the settings to Horizon Client for interpretation and enforcement
according to whether you specify the merge (m) or override (o) modifier. Horizon Client uses the settings to
decide if a USB device is available for redirection. As View Agent always enforces an agent-enforced policy
setting that you specify, the effect might be to counteract the policy that you have set for Horizon Client. For
a description of how View applies the policies for filtering USB devices, see “Configuring Filter Policy
Settings for USB Devices,” on page 171.
