12-3 Remote Desktop Connection

Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) provides a convenient way to remotely administer the blade
workstation because it allows the administrator to use the familiar Windows interface.
IMPORTANT: RDC and RGS are not interoperable. If an RDC connection is made while an RGS session is
established, the blade RGS Sender disconnects and the RGS session terminates. After the RDC connection
terminates, the RGS Sender resumes automatically, and users can connect to the blade with RGS. See the RGS
User Guide for more details.
NOTE: Prior to RGS 5.1.3, RDC could not be used to remotely install RGS. For RGS 5.1.3 and later, RDC can
be used to install RGS.
An RDC connection is made using the following steps:
1. Start Remote Desktop Connection by clicking Start > Accessories > Communications > Remote Desktop
Connection (see Figure 12-12).

2. RDC displays a dialog box for entry of the blade workstation NIC1 or NIC2 IP address (see Figure 12-13).
In Figure 12-13, the NIC1 IP address is entered.
