CREATING AN RDP SESSION
This section details the steps required to configure a typical RDP session within
ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM). This diagram shows a typical connection layout:
In the sample layout above, the ALIF3000 is connected to two separate networks:
•
The
Infinity network
gives access to hosts that are connected via ALIF transmitters,
•
The
Corporate network
is where the virtual machines running RDP hosts reside.
Prerequisites
• The AIM Manager is running firmware version 4.11 or above.
•
The ALIF3000 is connected to the networks and is recognised by the AIM Manager.
•
The Corporate network has a DHCP server to issue the CATx interface its IP
address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings.
