• Colors - Select the color depth of the RDP session. If High Colors (16 bits) or True
Colors 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 (8bits)).
Note
For some thin clients versions, only the 256 Colors (8 bits) selection is
available for RDP connections. Also, for older versions of the server software
(for example, RDP 4.0) the server only supports 8 bit color. This is not
detectable in advance but results in use of 8 bit color when the connection is
established.
• Window mode and Full screen mode - Select the initial view of the application in a
windowed screen or full screen. You can toggle between viewing modes by using
CTRL+ALT+UPARROW.
• Wallpaper - When selected, disables the desktop wallpaper.
• Menu / Window animation - When selected, disables the menu or window animation
character.
• Theme - When selected, disables the desktop themes.
• Show content when dragging - By default, when you grab a Window by the title bar
and move it around, the contents of the window will move with it. Select this to disable
this content view so that only the outline of the window moves when dragging it, until
you drop the window. This option can be beneficial, as it uses less processing power.
• Auto-connect on start-up - When selected, automatically connects the session on
start-up.
• 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 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.
• Turn compression off - When selected, turns compression off (intended for
high-speed connections).
• Optimize for low speed link - When selected, allows optimization for low-speed
connections, such as reducing audio quality and/or decreasing protocol-specific cache
size. Intended for a connection spanning a WAN link or using dialup.
• Auto-connect to local devices - Select any of the options (Printers, Serials, Smart
Cards) to have the thin client automatically connect to the devices.
• Delay before re-connecting - Becomes active if Re-connect after disconnect is
selected. Enter the number of seconds (1 to 3600) before trying to reconnect after a
disconnect.
• Console - Select to set the RDP connection with Console mode.
