Preventing registration of USB multimedia components

Last published : Oct 16, 2026
The registration of USB devices as input devices can be prevented by defining a terminal.ini entry. To do so, use the Advanced file entries feature of the Scout Console.
  1. In the Scout Console, for the relevant devices, open Advanced options > Advanced file entries.
  2. Define the following entry
    File /setup/terminal.ini
    Section Xorg
    Entry IgnoreUsbInput
    Value VendorID_1:ProdID_1,VendorID_2:ProdID_2
    (VendorID) Example: 0b0e:034c,047f:c01e
    or Important: Only use lowercase letters for hexadecimal values!
    You can replace individual characters by the wildcard character ?.
    Example: 0b0e:???? filters all products of a specific vendor.
    Value Alternatively, you can filter by vendor name
    (VendorName) Example: Jabra,Netcom
    - White spaces or slashes in the vendor name must be replaced by an underscore _.
    - The vendor name can be entered as a sub-string.
    Example: Netcom finds GN Netcom and GN Netcom A/S.
    - Vendor names can be OR-linked
    Example: Jabra\|Sennheiser
    Note: To identify vendor names or IDs, use the following command
    udevadm info \--export-db \| grep -Ew \"(NAME\|ID_VENDOR)\"
For further information, see Advanced file entries.
Note:
After the terminal.ini file has been updated on the client, another client restart might be required to enable the new setting.
