Administrator Guide

● Mirror mode is enabled on multi-display or single display—The Default on screen x option is not displayed.
The display resolution of the RDP connection is set as Default irrespective of the value configured in the
onscreen=x INI parameter.
● Span mode is enabled on multi-display—The Default on screen x option is displayed. You can select your
preferred display on which you want to start the RDP session. You can also set your preferred display using the
onscreen INI parameter. After you deploy the INI parameter, the Default on screen x option is set automatically
according to the configured INI settings.
NOTE: If the value defined in the onscreen parameter for your RDP connection is higher than the number of
displays connected to the thin client, the display resolution is set as Default. If you switch the display mode
between span and mirror, you must reboot the thin client to apply the INI settings.
e. Colors—Select the color depth of the RDP session. If High Colors (16-bits) or True Colors (32-bits) is selected and the
RDP server does not support this color depth, the thin client renegotiates the color depth to the lower value for example,
256 Colors (8-bits). The highest is 32-bits, if the hardware supports this color depth.
f. Window mode on 1 monitor or Full screen span all monitors—Select the initial view of the session in window mode
or full screen mode.
g. Auto-connect on start-up—When selected, automatically connects the session on start-up.
h. Re-connect after disconnect—When selected, causes the thin client to automatically reconnect to a session after a
non-operator-initiated disconnect. If selected, the wait interval is that set in the Delay before re-connecting box (enter
the number of seconds 1 to 3600) or the user profile for yes (20 seconds) or seconds. The default is 20 seconds, if there
is no INI file description of this connection, or is a Stand-alone user, or is simply omitted.
You can reset the options in the Connection tab of the Connection Settings (RDP) dialog box. To reset, click the Reset
VM command button. This command button is located in the upper-right of the dialog box. It appears only with a VDM
broker connection.
5. Click the Logon tab, and use the following guidelines:
a. Logging on area—Enter login username, password, and domain name. If these boxes are not populated, you can enter
the information manually in the RDP server login screen when the connection is made. Use the following guidelines:
● Login Username —Maximum of 31 characters is allowed.
● Password—Maximum of 19 characters is allowed.
● Domain Name—Maximum of 31 characters is allowed.
