Sun Ray and Peripherals: Page 2

In my last update, I gave you a general overview of Sun Ray's and a General Architecture. This post will be on Peripherals. This post will assume you are using Sun Ray Server Software (SRSS). Each Thin Client solution has there own way of doing Peripherals

USB:

Today, USB Sticks and Devices work on the Sun Ray's. I have even hooked up a USB DVD ROM drive and it worked well. Remember, that these are all done over the Network, so the speed of the device attached to the USB port is directly affected by Network Speeds.
Network Speeds:

10 Mbs = 1.25 MBs

100 Mbs = 12.5 MBs

1 Gbs = 125 MBs

10 Gbs = 1250 MBs

The USB storage devices show up as Network drives. By default these are on the U drive. I haven't done anything with printers yet, so I won't speak on those

Serial:
First thing to know, is the baud rate on the Sun Ray serial port is 9600 Baud. If your device is anything other than 9600 Baud it won't communicate. I've tested 3 different serial devices from printers (IER) to Bar Code Readers (Desko) to Magnetic readers built into the Keyboard. They all work well. This week I hope to have them all hooked up to the same sunray to see how that goes.

I had to change the VDA script, to add in the Serial ports, as they are passed through to the UTTSC script automatically. This is in /etc/opt/SUNWvda/sessions I beleive.

I can add more about this if you want, just let me know.
