Operations, administration, and maintenance
The InvisaPC Receiver’s OSD allows you to perform administration and maintenance tasks for both
the InvisaPC Receiver and Transmitter. Examples of tasks you can perform include creation of user
access rights, configuration of network settings, and firmware Flash upgrades.
Virtual USB (USB re-direction)
USB devices can be attached to the InvisaPC Receiver and function as if they are directly
connected to the remote workstation or virtual desktop. This is called virtual USB and this term
will refer to both operation with a transmitter or virtual desktop. This is often referred to as USB
re-direction in virtual desktop systems.
USB devices can be hot-plugged.
NOTE:
In Release 1, virtual USB/USB redirection is not supported.
Audio
The InvisaPC system supports CD-quality stereo audio from the remote workstation (with the
Transmitter connected) or virtual desktop to peripheral speakers connected to the line-out
connector on the InvisaPC receiver. The InvisaPC Transmitter uses USB to capture audio from the
remote workstation (hence no need for a separate audio cable at the transmitter).
The InvisaPC Receiver supports mono-quality audio from a peripheral microphone connected via
Microphone-In connector on the receiver to the remote workstation (with a Transmitter connected)
or a virtual desktop. The InvisaPC Transmitter uses USB to supply the microphone data to the
remote workstation (hence no need for a separate audio cable at transmitter).
NOTE:
In Release 1, audio and microphone are not supported.
Receiver modes
The InvisaPC system can operate in Auto-Login Mode, Auto-Connect Mode, Matrix Mode, or Share
Mode. The InvisaPC receiver and transmitter can obtain their IP address data from a DHCP server in
any of the three modes.
