Remote Desktop Protocol
Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a presentation protocol that allows the I/Port to
communicate with a host. RDP works across any TCP/IP connection, such as a local area
network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), or virtual private network (VPN) connection.
RDP is the delivery mechanism for video, mouse, keyboard, and USB communications
between the I/Port and the host.
When using Remote Desktop Protocol from the I/Port, many of the local I/Port resources are
available within the session, for example:
•
Peripheral Redirection – Peripherals connected to a local I/Port appear as if they are
connected to a user's host. RDP supports redirection for devices such as:
–
Human Interface Devices (such as keyboards and pointing devices)
–
TWAIN devices (such as scanners)
–
Local drives (such as mass storage devices)
–
Printers
–
Devices attached the I/Port’s local serial port and parallel port
