2-8-3 Many-to-one connection The RGS Receiver supports a many-to-one connection, allowing a single Local Computer to connect to multiple Remote Computers (see Figure 2-7), each running a desktop session-see Section 2-11, "RGS operating modes," specifically Directory Mode. The frame buffer of each Remote Computer is displayed in a separate Remote Display Window on the Local Computer. Figure 2-7 A Local Computer displaying two desktop sessions Remote Computer 1 Local Computer Remote Computer 2 IMPORTANT: Starting up two (or more) instances of the RGS Receiver to achieve a many-to-one connection is not supported. Achieving a many-to-one connection is only supported through the use of Directory Mode. The many-to-one connection capability allows implementation of a virtual KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) switch. The virtual KVM switch emulates the functionality of a standard KVM switch in software to provide a convenient method to connect a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse (all on the Local Computer) to multiple Remote Computers. Using the RGS Setup Mode (see Section 5-1-2, "Setup Mode"), you can switch the local monitor to display each of the Remote Computer frame buffers. The Receiver can also switch audio between active sessions as described in the Controlling Receiver Settings section using the audio follows focus option. 2-8-4 One-to-many connection RGS also supports a one-to-many connection, allowing the frame buffer of a Remote Computer to be displayed on multiple Local Computers (see Figure 2-8). In this figure, there is one primary user who is logged into the Remote Computer, and two local users who are viewing the primary user's desktop session on the Remote Computer.
