Set up a USB zero client-connected station in MultiPoint Services
When you use USB zero clients to create MultiPoint Services stations, the monitor for each station is connected to the video port on the USB zero client, as shown in the following illustration. For more information about this and other station types, see MultiPoint Stations.

Important
Before you set up USB zero client-connected stations, be sure to install the latest drivers for your video cards and the USB zero client. Outdated drivers can prevent the MultiPoint Services configuration from completing successfully. For instructions, see Update and install device drivers if needed.
Important
If you are using a USB-over-Ethernet zero client, follow the instructions from your vendor, instead of this procedure, to use the Ethernet connection to set up the device on the network.
