- Models 60/60E, 65/65E: protocol RDP 4,
- Models 75/75E: protocol RDP 5.
The terminal features depend on the RDP protocol revision:
- RDP 4 Terminal: the number of colors is 256 and the printer redirection
is not available.
- RDP 5 Terminal: the following table shows the features available for
each operating system:
