Stop, halt, pause, wait. (it's a line from a play)
You have it quite mixed up.
This is the way it must be, for the field or at home. There are not different cases.
Read the documentation:
Getting Started with Microsoft Kinect for FRC
In particular see page 4, step 3:
3. Plug your Microsoft Kinect into your Driver Station laptop.
------
- The Kinect plugs into the Driver Station - always
- The Kinect never, ever plugs into the Kiosk
On the field, the Kiosk will repeat what
the Driver Station tells it about what the Kinect is doing. The Kiosk receives this information from the Kinect Server running on the Driver Station via Ethernet.

For the record, I stand by my statement that teams should keep the testing environment as close to the official environment as possible, and that includes making sure the Kinect works properly on a second computer via the Kiosk. For consistency's sake, it might be best to stick to the more official layout, though I thank you for pointing out that it is possible otherwise.
