6.6 Terminal Services Client

Using the Terminal Services Client, you can log onto a PC running Terminal Services or
Remote Desktop and use all of the programs available on that PC from your mobile device.
For example, instead of running Pocket Word, you can run the PC version of Word and
access all of the .doc files on that PC from your Pocket PC Phone.
Connecting to a Terminal Server
Start a remote connection to the server via a GPRS or Wireless LAN connection.
1. Tap the Start menu > Programs > Terminal Services Client.
2. To connect to a server you have previously connected to, in Recent Servers, tap a server.
To connect to a new server, enter the server's name in the Server box. Select the Limit
size of server desktop to fit on this screen check box only when using applications that
have been specifically sized for use with the Pocket PC Phone.
3. Tap Connect.
NOTE: If the network administrator has configured Terminal Services Client to reconnect
to disconnected sessions, and you previously disconnected from a Terminal Server without
ending the session, the Terminal Services Client reconnects to that session.
Navigating within Terminal Services Client
Once connected to the server, the PC's screen may more than fill your mobile device's screen.
If scroll bars are displayed on the server's screen, you will see more than one set of scroll
bars on your Pocket PC Phone: one to scroll information on the PC, and one to scroll the
PC display through the Terminal Services window in Terminal Services Client.
To ensure you are scrolling the PC display through Terminal Services Client, use the five
directional buttons at the bottom of the Terminal Services Client screen. To better fit infor-
mation on your mobile device's screen, select Limit size of server desktop to fit on this
screen. For best effect, programs on the desktop computer should be maximized.
Disconnecting without ending a session
The following commands must be accessed from the Start menu in the Terminal Services
window used to access the PC's commands. Do not use the Start menu on your Pocket
PC Phone.
1. In the Terminal Services window, tap Start > Shutdown.
2. Tap Disconnect.
If your administrator has configured Terminal Services Client to reconnect to disconnected
sessions, you will be reconnected to this session the next time you connect to this server.
