RDP Connection Configuration

Enable data compression

Default: Checked

Selecting this option will cause data to be compressed before it is transmitted.

Enable encryption

Default: Checked

This determines whether communication from the client to the server is encrypted or not. If your thin client is to connect to a French version of Windows NT 4 Server running Terminal Server Edition, you should disable encryption by unchecking this option.

Force bitmap updates

Default: Checked

Bitmaps are usually cached to improve performance. Selecting this option will force bitmap data to be retrieved from the server at all times.

Use private colormap

Default: Checked

When using more than 256 colours, selecting this option will improve performance by utilizing a private colour map.

System beep

Default: Checked

This allows you to enable or disable sound-based warnings that are issued when Windows needs to alert you.

Attach to console

Default: Unchecked

Checking this box will cause an RDP connection to be opened as if you were sitting in front of the server itself. This is useful if you want to perform maintenance functions on the RDP server.
