Redirection for USB devices can be allowed or denied during a Citrix session on the basis of rules. Sub-rules for specific devices or device classes are also possible. The use of rules is described under USB Access Control.
For the Fabulatech USB redirection, a server-side component is required. We recommend the USB for Remote Desktop IGEL Edition; see http://www.usb-over-network.com/partners/igel/.
