UC360 Administration and 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.

• Set up your computer to use Remote Desktop. See “Setting Up Your Computer to Use

Remote Desktop” on page 42 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. See “RDP

Settings” on page 64 for more information.

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.

To allow your PC to share information you must:

1. Go to Control Panel in your PC and select System.

2. On the left hand side, select Remote Settings.

3. In the subsequent window, select the appropriate Remote Desktop Settings. For the

UC360, select Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote

Desktop.
