Common USB printer redirection is easier by one of printer redirection ways: https://wtware.com/docs5/printer.html
USB varcode scenners: http://wtware.com/docs5/config.html#serial
USB scanners: http://wtware.com/docs5/config.html#scanner
USB devices redirection is needed for:
* Multifunction devices, scanners and barcode scanners, if there's no driver in WTware for such device,
* Canon CAPT printers,
* cameras, mobile phones and tablets,
* techological devices etc.
VirtualHere allows to redirect single USB device from each thin client for free. VirtualHere is easier and in some cases works better thaт Windows-embedded USB redirection via RDP.
Attention! We are not VirtualHere developers. We don't know how VirtualHere works and we can't advise on possible ambiguities with redirected devices. Not any USB device may be redirected over network. Before USB redirection of your device on WTware thin client, test how this USB device is redirected via VirtualHere to your terminal server from any other Windows computer.
1. On the page "Linux USB Server" download "Generic VirtualHere USB Server Builds" for needed architecture. WTware works on three architectures: i386, AMD64, ARM.
All Raspberry Pi versions are ARM architecture. So for Raspberry you are to download VirtualHere USB Server for Linux (ARM), file vhusbdarm.
Common x86-compatible computer may be i386 or AMD64. Boot WTware on needed computer, place mouse in the right bottom corner and look at popup window. If near WTware version you see UEFI word, it's 64-bit WTware, and you are to download VirtualHere USB Server for Linux (AMD64), file vhusbdx86_64.
If there's no UEFI word near WTware version and logo, then WTware for i386 architecture works on this computer. You are to download VirtualHere USB Server for Linux (i386), file vhusbdi386.
2. WTware terminal must receive the file you downloaded. If terminal boots by network or from local disk, but downloads it's configuration files by network, you should save this file into Everyone directory in TFTP server root. By default it's:
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files (x86)\WTware\TFTPDROOT\Everyone
3. IN terminal configuration file you are to specify:
Code: Select all
vhusb = on
Additional options
You may tell VirtualHere to redirect definite USB device:
Code: Select all
vhusb = 1234:ABCD
Broadcast messages, in order not to enter terminal IP:
Code: Select all
vhusb = UseAVAHI
