Enable Serial Port Redirection

Serial Port redirection feature enables you to redirect serial (COM) ports such as integrated RS232 ports or USB ports that are connected locally to serial-USB adapters. You can connect the serial devices to serial ports on your thin client and then use the serial devices in VDI desktops. The serial port redirection feature is applicable only for Blast sessions.

To use the Serial Port Redirection feature, you must install the feature in the VMware Horizon session. This feature is installed in the VMware Horizon Agent during the Horizon Agent installation. After the Serial Port Redirection feature is enabled in the VDI session, do the following:

  1. Launch a Horizon View desktop on ThinOS.
  2. Open the VMware Serial Port Redirection menu from the Windows system tray.

    The available serial ports are listed and can be selected based on your preference. In Windows Device Manager, the serial port is displayed as Serial Port Redirection over VMware Horizon (COM1).
