current RDP port of the host operating system, which is typically 3389. If you change the RDP port number,

HP RGS Software

View Client supports connections to desktops using HP RGS when connecting to HP Blade PCs, HP
Workstations, and HP Blade Workstations. VMware does not bundle or license HP RGS with View. You must
contact HP to license a copy of HP RGS version 5.2.5 to use with View.
HP RGS consists of a server-side component, called RGS Sender, and a client-side component, the RGS
Receiver. Before you can configure View to use HP RGS, you must install HP RGS Sender in the remote desktop
operating system and install HP RGS Receiver in the desktop. Do not install RGS USB on either the sender or
receiver.
You must add the RGS Sender application or port as an exception to any firewall software. The default RGS
port is 42966. See the HP RGS documentation on the HP Web site for information on installing and configuring
HP RGS components.
