Working with Remote Desktop

To access your unit remotely with Remote Desktop:
1.
Connect both the computer and your unit to the same network and

make sure they can “see” each other as network restrictions might
prevent them from communicating.

If you want to use an Ethernet network, connect an RJ-45
(network) cable to the unit’s RJ-45 (Ethernet) port located on its
left side.

If you want to use a wireless network, see Connecting to a Wireless
Network
on page 140.

You could also create a Private Area Network with your Bluetooth
device (see with your network administrator).

2. Turn on both the computer and the unit.

3. On your unit, in Toolbox, go to Main Menu. Select System

Information > Platform.

4. Write down the IP address, and then close the window.

Note: It may take a few seconds before you see the IP address on the list.

5. From the computer, on the taskbar, click Start, then select

All Programs > Accessories > Remote Desktop Connection.
