| 7 | <p>As a special feature additional to the VRDP support, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> also
|
|---|
| 8 | supports remote USB devices over the wire. That is, an <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> guest
|
|---|
| 9 | that runs on one computer can access the USB devices of the remote computer on which the VRDP data is being
|
|---|
| 10 | displayed the same way as USB devices that are connected to the actual host. This enables running of virtual
|
|---|
| 11 | machines on an <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> host that acts as a server, where a client
|
|---|
| 12 | can connect from elsewhere that needs only a network adapter and a display capable of running an RDP viewer. When
|
|---|
| 13 | USB devices are plugged into the client, the remote <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> server
|
|---|
| 14 | can access them. </p>
|
|---|
| 15 | <p>For these remote USB devices, the same filter rules apply as for other USB devices. See <xref
|
|---|
| 16 | href="settings-usb.dita">USB Settings</xref>. All you have to do is specify Remote, or Any, when setting up
|
|---|
| 17 | these rules. </p>
|
|---|
| 18 | <p>Accessing remote USB devices is only possible if the RDP client supports this extension. Some versions of
|
|---|
| 19 | <userinput>uttsc</userinput>, a client tailored for the use with Sun Ray thin clients, support accessing remote
|
|---|
| 20 | USB devices. RDP clients for other platforms will be provided in future <ph
|
|---|
| 21 | conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> versions. </p>
