It enables Citrix HDX USB Redirection. It allows to export, to the virtual desktop, the USB resources connected to the Thin Client.
Enable Citrix HDX USB Redirection: this parameter enables or disables the Citrix HDX USB Redirection.
If enabled you have to decide to:
- Automatic share all plugged devices: selecting this parameter will share all USB devices plugged into the thin client to the virtual desktop. Shared resources are not more visible from the thin client. This is a not recommended option (e.g. all the USB devices will be not more available locally on the thin client).
- Sharing device based on category: with this option, it is possible to flag which categories of the device have to be exported via redirection. (E.g. in this case the Human Interface devices like mouse, pad, keyboard are not exported and remain available to the thin client).
Click OK will close the window and save the configuration options.
You can also manage a single device independently of its category. You can specify whether the USB device should be exported or not using the USB Redirection.
Click on Exception list.
The first list reports the current exception list. You can note that the list contains many devices for which the rules have already been defined. Every entry on the list can be changed or deleted by selecting the entry and clicking on Edit or Delete.
The second report the currently plugged devices. If you plug a new device into the thin client click on Refresh to load it into the list.
To add a new device to the exclusion list select it from the list of plugged devices and click on Add to Ex. list.
Select from the Exception combo-box whether the device has to be Never export or Always export within the USB Redirection. Then click OK to add the device to the exclusion list. The new rule will create an entry in the device exception list and can be eventually changed later.
