Configure USB over PCoIP Virtual Channel
To configure USB over PCoIP virtual channel using UDP port 4172, modify the registry in Horizon Agent:
- Set the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Agent\Configuration\UsbVirtualChannelEnabled (REG_SZ) to true.
- Set the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware UsbRedirection\sideChannelType (REG_SZ) to pcoip.
- Reboot the Horizon Agent VM.
To check the configuration is in effect:
- Connect the Horizon Agent desktop with PCoIP protocol.
- Check the Horizon Client log from "C:\Users\<username>\ AppData\Local\Temp\vmware-<username>\vmware-UsbRedirectionClient-xxxx.log". If the configuration is in effect, you can find the "RPCManager::OnChannelDataObjectStateChanged(): Requesting virtual side channel" in this file.
