UC360 User Guide

Using Remote RDP

RDP stands for Remote Desktop Protocol. It is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft®, that provides a graphical interface to your computer. Remote (RDP) lets you access a Windows session on your PC or laptop remotely and see the files, programs, and resources exactly as you would if you were sitting at your desk, while you are using the UC360.

With RDP, you can display your desktop locally to people in the room with you, or you can share your desktop with remote participants.

Tip: Before you use Remote Desktop, do the following:

Ensure that the UC360 has a keyboard and mouse attached. This is very important as it keeps your password hidden while sharing applications in a video call.

Set up your computer to use Remote Desktop. See “Setting Up Your Computer to Use Remote Desktop” on page 64 or see Windows help for instructions.

Have the name of your computer handy.

Make sure your computer is turned on.

If you use Remote Desktop on a regular basis, your administrator can preset your UC360 to connect automatically when you use RDP. You will be prompted for your password.

Note: RDP may not render remote software properly if it employs high-end graphics, for example, CAD and/or modelling applications.

Setting Up Your Computer to Use Remote Desktop

To find the full FQDN (hostname and domain) of your desktop PC or Laptop, follow the steps below.

This example assumes that Windows 7 installed on the PC.

1.Under the Control Panel, proceed to System.

On the page that is displayed, you will see a section labeled Computer name, Domain, and Workgroup settings.

2.Under this section, there will be an entry called Full computer name. Beside this entry will be the FQDN for your PC (for example: PC123456.mitel.com).

3.Write this down so that it is available when you set RDP to access your PC from the UC360.
