USB Redirection: When set, this enables non-keyboard and non-mice devices to be redirected for this connection.
Persistent Connection: When turned on, Persistent Connection will constantly try to connect to the Receiver until
successful. This is useful when using Emerald or InvisaPC for digital signage or applications with no keyboard/mouse that need to
stay connected to a defined source.
NLA: When set, this enables Network Level Authentication, requiring that the user be authenticated to the RD Session Host
server before the session is created. This setting needs to match the NLA setting on the target VM for a successful connection.
Emerald 1.0 has NLA set to “disabled” by default and user doesnt have option to change. On VM, the NLA setting has to be set to
“disabled”.
The administrator can edit the connections parameters or delete the connection using the “•••” icon on the specific connection
row. The parameters for a connection are defined in more detail in section 8.1.1.
When you left-click on a connection name, a popup box appears that tells you details about the connection and gives you the
option to disconnect.
8.1.1 CONNECTIONS—ADD CONNECTION
To allow an Emerald or InvisaPC Receiver to connect to a target Emerald or InvisaPC Transmitter or Virtual Machine, an
administrator must create a connection. This is done on the Connections — Manage page from the main menu as shown in Figure
36.
Clicking on the +Connection button launches a wizard that takes the Administrator step-by-step through the creation of a new
connection.
On the first screen of the wizard, as shown in Figure 35, the Administrator selects the type of connection. This can be one of four
types (as set by Connect Via parameter):
 Tx—connect to an Emerald or InvisaPC Transmitter;
 Direct to VM—connect directly to a virtual machine using its IP address or hostname;
 Broker—connect to a virtual machine via a connection broker (i.e., indirect connection);
 VM Pool—connect to a virtual desktop that is hosted in VM Pools. The IP address for this Pool is defined in the global settings (see
section 7.3.5).
