Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 5.5
Wyse Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 5.5 for Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET allows
Winterm™ 3 series Thin Client users to connect remotely to a desktop computer running
Microsoft Windows NT®, Windows 2000 or 2003, or Windows XP Professional, or a
server running Microsoft® Windows NT® Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. RDP allows
the thin client to execute Windows applications within a Windows graphical user interface
(GUI) environment, even though they are actually being executed on the server.
Administrators can create, edit, launch and delete an RDP connection in different ways
depending on the desktop settings.
