Bloomberg Keyboard Problems by cnejenkins 11 years ago In reply to Bloomberg Keyboard Proble. I have been running a proof of concept demo for HP Blade workstations. This article describes support for the Bloomberg Keyboards and how to configure. If the driver for the Bloomberg Fingerprint Scanner device is not installed, the.

This article describes support for the Bloomberg Keyboards in XenDesktop, and how to configure the Citrix online plug-in for Windows for the Bloomberg Keyboard. Background • Bloomberg Keyboards provide additional functionality to standard keyboards, enabling users to access financial market data and perform trades. To enhance the usability of the Bloomberg Keyboard device, XenDesktop 4.0 allows you to share the extended Bloomberg Keyboard features with multiple sessions and the local environment. • The Bloomberg Keyboard consists of four USB devices built into one physical shell • The keyboard itself • A fingerprint reader • An audio device • A USB hub to connect all of these devices to the system. In addition to the normal functionality of these devices, the audio device includes support for some keys on the keyboard and some control of the keyboard and keyboard LEDs. • To use this specialized functionality inside a session, redirect the audio device as a USB device.

In addition, the specialized functionality can only be used with one session and cannot be shared between multiple sessions. • The support for Bloomberg Keyboards in the online plug-in and XenDesktop adds the ability to share the specialized functionality between the local system and one or more sessions, without making the audio device available. Additionally, this allows the improved audio support in the online plug-in to be used for lower bandwidth audio. Prerequisites for Supporting Bloomberg Keyboards To support Bloomberg Keyboards: • The user device must have the requisite online plug-in installed. • The session to which the online plug-in is connecting must support USB devices. The ability to support Bloomberg Keyboard 3 is present in the online plug-in 11.2 for Windows and subsequent versions.

To support Bloomberg Keyboard 4, Windows Receiver 4.8 and subsequent versions should be present. Determining if Support for Bloomberg Keyboards is Enabled • To check if support for Bloomberg Keyboards is enabled in the online plug-in, check how Desktop Viewer reports the Bloomberg Keyboard’s devices. If the Desktop Viewer is not used, it is possible to check the registry on the machine running the online plug-in. • If support for Bloomberg Keyboards is not enabled, the Desktop Viewer shows • Two devices for the Bloomberg Keyboard 3. One appears as “Bloomberg Fingerprint Scanner”, and the other as “Bloomberg Bloomberg Keyboard Audio”. • One policy redirected device for Bloomberg Keyboard 4.

This device appears as “Bloomberg LP Keyboard 2013” • If support for Bloomberg Keyboards is enabled, there are two devices shown in the Desktop Viewer. One appears as “Bloomberg Fingerprint Scanner” as before, and the other as “Bloomberg Keyboard Features”. • If the driver for the Bloomberg Fingerprint Scanner device is not installed, the Bloomberg Fingerprint Scanner entry might not appear in the Desktop Viewer and so might not be available for redirection. It is still possible to check the name of the other Bloomberg device whether support for Bloomberg Keyboards is enabled. Refer to the Disclaimer at the end of this article before using Registry Editor.

• To check if support is enabled without using the Desktop Viewer, you can look in the registry for the value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Citrix ICAClient GenericUSB EnableBloombergHID • If that value is not present or is 0 (zero), support for Bloomberg Keyboards is not enabled. If the value is 1, support is enabled. Enabling Support for the Bloomberg Keyboard Note: With the release of Citrix Receiver for Windows 4.8, support for composite devices was added by the “SplitDevices” policy. This policy must not be enabled for the Bloomberg Keyboard 4. Use the Bloomberg Keyboard Feature Support instead. • The support for the Bloomberg Keyboard changes how certain USB devices might be redirected to a session; as such, this support is not enabled by default. • Complete the following procedure to enable support at installation time: Add the property ENABLE_HID_REDIRECTION with the value TRUE to the installation command-line. For example: CitrixOnlinePluginFull.exe /silent ADDLOCAL='ICA_CLIENT,PN_AGENT,SSON,USB' ENABLE_SSON='no' INSTALLDIR='c: test' ENABLE_DYNAMIC_CLIENT_NAME='Yes' DEFAULT_NDSCONTEXT='Context1,Context2' SERVER_LOCATION='ENABLE_HID_REDIRECTION='TRUE' • To enable support after installing the online plug-in, you must edit the Windows Registry on the system running the online plug-in: • Open Registry Editor.
