Rgs Properties; Property Syntax; Setting Property Values In A Configuration File - HP Xw460c - ProLiant - Blade Workstation User Manual

8 RGS properties

RGS allows the user to specify many properties of the RGS connection, both on the Sender and Receiver. By
specifying properties, the user can modify RGS characteristics such as:
Display of borders on the Remote Display Window
•
Codec quality
•
Audio quality
•
Connection timeouts
•
This chapter describes each of the RGS properties, their default values, and how they can be changed.

8-1 Property syntax

Properties are name/value pairs, and can contain any non-whitespace characters except "=" and "#". The
property name and property value are separated by an "=". For example:
Rgreceiver.Network.Timeout.Warning=10000
In this example, the name of this property is Rgreceiver.Network.Timeout.Warning, and the value of the
property is 10000.
All RGS Receiver properties begin with "Rgreceiver" and all RGS Sender properties begin with "Rgsender".
Properties can contain values of the following types: string, int, bool, and int vector. Properties of type
bool are set to 1 or 0, representing true or false, respectively. A property can be set to an empty value, such as:
Rgreceiver.Browser.Name=
Properties with empty values initialize as follows:
If the value of the property is of type string, the value will be set to an empty string.
•
If the value of the property is of type int vector or bool, the value will be set to 0.
•

8-2 Setting property values in a configuration file

RGS property values can be set in a configuration file. The RGS Receiver uses the rgreceiverconfig file for its
properties while the RGS Sender uses the file rgsenderconfig file for its properties. On Windows, these files
are located in the directory where the RGS Receiver and Sender are installed, typically:
Receiver: C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Remote Graphics Receiver\rgreceiverconfig
Sender: C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Remote Graphics Sender\rgsenderconfig
On Linux, these files are located as follows:
Receiver: /etc/opt/hpremote/rgreceiver/rgreceiverconfig
Sender: /etc/opt/hpremote/rgsender/rgsenderconfig
The configuration files contain property name/value pairs, with only one property per line. Empty lines (containing
only whitespace characters) are ignored. The "#" character begins a comment on the line, extending to the end of
the line. If a property is listed more than once, the value of the last entry is used.
NOTE: All properties in the configuration files are initially commented out with the "#" character. To set a
property in a configuration file, first delete the "#" character preceding the property name, and then set the
property to the desired value.
IMPORTANT: RGS properties set in a configuration file do not take affect until the associated program is
restarted. For example, if the rgreceiverconfig file is changed, the Receiver should be restarted. Likewise,
if the rgsenderconfig file is changed, the Sender should be restarted.
