Remote Desktop: Using the Test Set Remotely
Windows Remote Desktop is recommended for remote control of the test set.
Overview of Remote Desktop operation
Using the Remote Desktop functionality of the test set allows you to control and interact
with the test set from a remote computer, as though you were sitting in front of the test
set.
When you have configured the test set for remote connectivity, and configured a separate
computer to act as a Remote Desktop Host, you can send commands to the test set from
the remote computer, and you can see the test set display on the screen of the remote
computer.
This section provides full details of how to set up the test set for remote connectivity, and
also how to set up a computer running any 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows as a
Remote Desktop Host.
