Overview The RDP client in HP ThinPro includes an advanced end-to-end connection check feature that continually monitors the status of the connection between the client and the RDP server. Unlike conventional RDP sessions that will freeze when connectivity is lost, ThinPro will display a dialog when the connection is lost and, after a timeout, automatically attempt a quick, seamless reconnection.

Advantages of connection drop detection With conventional RDP connections before RDP 8.1, there is no end-to-end connectivity check. This means that the data on the screen might not be current. This might be unimportant for a kiosk displaying advertising, but it might be critical in an application such as financial trading or medical diagnosis. Most commonly, lack of connection-drop notification leads to the frustrating situation of a system that appears unresponsive to user input.
