Connecting to the Upgrade Side with Remote Desktop
Remote Desktop allows you to control the keyboard, video and mouse of the Upgrade Side through
the Windows Remote Desktop component.
To establish a Remote Desktop Connection to the
Upgrade Side
1. Click Remote Desktop in the navigation bar of the Active Upgrade
Console on the Production Side. The system opens a Remote
Desktop Connection window.
2. When the window displays the login screen for the remote system, enter your administrative
username and password and click
OK . The Upgrade Side desktop is displayed.
For more information on what you can do, such as on the Upgrade Side after establishing the remote
connection, and how to merge the system after completing the upgrade process, each connection,
see TIPS below
TIPS:
If you want to refer to the Active Upgrade Help file while you are using the Upgrade Side
desktop, click
Start on the Upgrade Side desktop, then click All Programs , ftSys , and Active
Upgrade Help to open the Help viewer.
If you maximize the Remote Desktop connection window, its title bar (which displays the IP
address of the Upgrade Side as well as minimize, maximize and exit buttons), might disappear from
view (autohide). Only the Upgrade Side desktop will be displayed, as if it is your local desktop. If
you want to redisplay the title bar to access its controls, push the mouse pointer to the top of the
screen.
TIPS:
The Remote Desktop title bar is a helpful reminder that you are using the Upgrade Side
desktop. If you have maximized the window for Remote Desktop and you want the title bar to
be displayed for the duration of your connection, click the pin button (pushpin) on the left side
of the title bar. (The pin button is displayed only when the window is maximized.)
For more information about managing a Remote Desktop session, see the Windows online Help.
