Using Connections
This section describes how to configure your WES7-based terminal to
connect to server-based services utilizing several different connection
protocols.
Using Remote Desktop
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a secure communication method
based on Microsoft Terminal Services. It provides connection to
Windows-based machines and is efficient enough to run on high-latency
networks.
1 To open Remote Desktop and launch and RDP session, you can
usually double-click the icon on your desktop called Remote
Desktop Connection. If your desktop does not have an RDP icon,
you can also use the following path: Start->All Programs>
Accessories>Remote Desktop Connection.
2 In the Computer box, type in the IP address of your RDP server,
and your user name. If your user name requires a domain you can
type your name in the format DOMAIN\username.
3 Clicking the Options arrow at the bottom of the RDP window will
allow you to set custom options available for your RDP session.
Resolution, color options, printer and USB device redirection, and
several other performance options are available from the drop
down menu in various tabs.
4 After typing in your credentials, click Connect at the bottom of the
menu. It may ask you to confirm your connection, and once you
type in your password and hit Enter you will launch your RDP
session.
