6.8.2 Configure the Remote Desktop Connection Client
With the Client PC securely connected to the console server (locally, remotely from the enterprise VPN, or a secure SSH
internet tunnel or dial-in SSH tunnel), you can establish the remote desktop connection from the client. Simply enable the
Remote Desktop Connection on the remote client PC, and then point it to the SDT Secure Tunnel port in the console server:
On a Windows client PC
Click Start. Point to Programs, then to Accessories, then Communications. Click Remote Desktop Connection.
In Computer, enter the appropriate IP Address and Port Number:
• Where there is a direct local or enterprise VPN connection, enter the console server’s IP Address and the Port Number of
the SDT Secure Tunnel for the console server serial port that is attached to the Windows computer to be controlled. For
example, if the Windows computer is connected to serial Port 3 on a console server located at 192.168.0.50, then you
would enter 192.168.0.50:7303.
Where there is an SSH tunnel over a dial-up PPP connection, public internet connection, or private network connection, simply
enter the localhost as the IP address 127.0.0.1. For the port number, enter the source port you created when setting SSH
tunneling /port forwarding (e.g., :1234).
Click Option. In the Display section, specify an appropriate color depth (e.g., for a modem connection it is recommended
you not use over 256 colors). In Local Resources, specify the peripherals on the remote Windows computer that are to be
controlled (printer, serial port, etc.).
Click Connect.
