Helpful settings for Remote Desktop
The following settings for the Remote Desktop connection can make working on the
remote PC more convenient.
1. When setting up the connection to the instrument, you can configure the connec-
tion settings in the "Remote Desktop Connection" dialog box.
Click the "Show Options".
The dialog box is expanded to display the configuration data.
2. Customize the settings:
a) On the "Experience" tab, select the appropriate connection to optimize the con-
nection speed.
b) On the "Local Resources" tab:
● To use printers connected to the remote PC while accessing them from the
instrument, activate "Printers" under "Local devices and resources".
● If you want access drives of the remote PC from the instrument, e.g. to
store settings or to copy files from the PC to the instrument:
– Select "More" under "Local devices and resources".
– Select the "Drives" that are needed.
Windows maps the selected drives of the remote PC to corresponding
network drives. When a connection is established, a warning on the PC
indicates that the drives are enabled for access from the instrument.
c) On the "Display" tab:
● Use the slider to set the size of the R&S RTE window on the remote PC
desktop.
● Activate "Display the connection bar when in full screen mode".
A bar with the network address of the instrument is displayed on the
screen, which you can use to reduce, minimize or close the window.
d) On the "General" tab, you can save the connection settings for later use: click
"Save As".
Terminating Remote Desktop Control
A Remote Desktop connection can be terminated either on the R&S RTE or on the
remote PC. The connection can be established again any time as long as remote con-
trol is enabled on the instrument. Consider the notice "Risk of unauthorized access"
on page 1038.
► To terminate the connection on the remote PC, close the "Remote Desktop" win-
dow, or select "Start > Disconnect".
