2 Best Practices for Setting Up a
MultiSeat Environment
A USB-connected environment is ideal when plug-and-play simplicity is desired or in settings with no
Ethernet network infrastructure. An Ethernet-connected environment is ideal when the distance needed
between the host PC and its clients must be greater than USB allows. It can also help reduce cable
clutter around the host PC.
NOTE: If the t200 Zero Client drivers are not preinstalled on your host PC, please download them
from the HP website. Go to hp.com, click SUPPORT & DRIVERS, click Drivers & Software, type
the host PC model number (ms6005 or ms6200) in the field, and click SEARCH to find the latest
t200 Zero Client drivers.

USB-connected MultiSeat Environment

This setup is suitable for either t100 series clients or t200 Zero Clients.
NOTE:
You cannot mix t100 series clients and t200 Zero Clients connected to the same MultiSeat
host PC, but you can mix t100 and t150 client devices.
Connect the zero clients to the host PC:
▲
Connect singleton zero clients (not in a daisy chain) via USB cable directly to the host PC.
●
To connect zero clients in a daisy chain, connect each client via USB cable to the next, and
●
then connect one end of the daisy chain via USB cable to the host PC.
NOTE:
Each zero client in a daisy chain must be powered using the optional power adapter
connected to an AC power source or an HP monitor with power-pass-through.

Ethernet-connected MultiSeat Environment

This setup is suitable for the t200 Zero Client only.
Daisy chaining off an Ethernet-connected zero client is not supported.
●
With no USB connection to supply power, zero clients must have another source of power: either
●
an optional power adapter connected to an AC power source or an HP monitor with power-pass-
through.
An Ethernet network infrastructure is required.
●
This should be a 100 Mb or one Gb system.
◦
DHCP is highly recommended.
◦
Can only see t200 Zero Clients on same subnet as host PC.
◦
Up to three zero clients may be connected by USB cable in a daisy chain.
