Use ALVR through a USB connection

Using ALVR through a USB connection

Configuration

ALVR Client (Headset):

• WiFi must be turned on and connected, otherwise ALVR will not search for the server.

ALVR Server (PC):

• If your headset is detected, click "Trust." Click "Configure" and add the IP address 127.0.0.1. Remove the other IP address.
• If your headset is not detected, click "Add client manually" and use the IP address 127.0.0.1. Use the hostname displayed on your headset screen.
• Turn off client discovery in Settings > Connection. (You may need to install ALVR nightly.)
• Switch the connection streaming protocol to TCP in Settings > Connection.

SideQuest:

• These steps will need to be performed every time you connect your headset.
• If you haven't already, connect a USB cable from your PC to your headset. USB 2.0 will work fine but 3.0 and higher is best.
• Run these adb commands in SideQuest: adb forward tcp:9943 tcp:9943 and adb forward tcp:9944 tcp:9944
• Keep SideQuest opened until you want to close the connection.

Once you are finished, the headset should now establish a connection over USB.
