About Remote Graphics Software

What is Remote Graphics Software?

Remote Graphics Software (RGS) is software that allows a user to access the
desktop of a remote computer over a standard computer network. The software is
conceptually similar to other remote access solutions such as Microsoft Remote
Desktop, Symantec pcAnywhere™ and others.
Remote Graphics Software is composed of three major software components:
1. RGS Sender is a software application that runs as a service or background
process on a remote computer and transmits graphics updates, audio, and
USB data to one or more RGS Receivers. The Sender receives keyboard
events, mouse events, and USB data from the Receiver, and processes them
locally.
2. RGS Receiver is a software application that runs on a local computer or thin-
client. The Receiver establishes a connection to one or more Senders,
requests graphics updates from the Sender, and displays the desktop of the
remote computer inside a window on the local system. Keyboard and mouse
events in the Remote Display Window are transmitted to a Sender. USB data
is also transmitted and received from the Sender. The Receiver connects to
the RGS Enterprise Service if enabled.
3. RGS Enterprise Service is an optional software component that runs as a
service or daemon on a remote computer. The Enterprise Service (ES)
manages centralized system lookup and user enterprise properties for the
RGS Receiver over a standard computer network. The Enterprise Service is
delivered as a Software Development Kit (SDK).
