Receiver Terminology
The Receiver is composed of three main components:
1. Control Panel: The main Receiver window that is used to connect and
control many Receiver settings.
2. Remote Display Window: The window that displays the desktop of the
remote computer.
3. Remote Display Window Toolbar: A toolbar that is displayed at the top of
the Remote Display Window that provides status information and has several
controls.
Modes of operation
There are three modes of operation for the Receiver - Normal Mode, Directory Mode,
and Enterprise Service Mode.
1. Normal Mode: Enables a user to connect to a system by specifying the
hostname or IP address in the Receiver Control Panel:
• On Windows, to start the HP Remote Graphics Software Receiver from
the Start menu, select Start -> HP Remote Graphics -> Receiver
• On Linux or HP-UX, execute
/opt/hpremote/rgreceiver/rgreceiver.sh
2. Directory Mode: Enables a user to automatically open connections to several
systems based on the systems assigned to each user. These assignments are
saved in the RGS directory file on a shared file server or network mapped
drive. This file is normally created and maintained by the system
administrator or an IT support engineer.
• On Windows, to start the HP Remote Graphics Software Receiver -
directory
version from the Start menu, select:
Start -> HP Remote Graphics -> Receiver -directory
• On Linux or HP-UX, type:
/opt/hpremote/rgreceiver/rgreceiver.sh -directory [file]
where the optional "file" is the path to the directory file. If the file path
is not entered, then the user can enter the directory file through the use
of the "Set Directory File" button on the user interface.
