You can also use the ezConnect client to set up manual RDP connectivity to PC
Blades. Click on Connections, select Add, and enter the connection information to
your Blade.
If using an XPe-based I/Port as a client managed by ezRemote Manager, please see
the ezRemote Manager User Manual. Download this documentation at:

Optimizing RDP and the I/Port
Under most circumstances, the I/Port itself does not run any applications other than
the XPe core operating system, the Sentral client, and RDP. All the applications and
real “compute-work” happens back at the blade.
When you use the Sentral client, the interface settings are managed by Sentral
automatically. However, if you use RDP as a standalone client, there are several
settings that you can adjust on the I/Port to optimize the user experience. Most of the
performance optimization revolves around configuring RDP in the most appropriate
fashion, given your infrastructure.
ClearCube recommends using the I/Port primarily on a corporate network (100Mbps
or faster) with Sentral. However, you may have users who will use I/Ports for remote
applications, such as office access from home, offshore development, etc.
RDP allows several configurable capabilities. Enabling each additional capability
requires more bandwidth, thus impacting performance. The ideal I/Port performance
optimization process will lead to the best possible experience within any limitations of
your operating environment.
Figure 6 shows the RDP Control Panel, where these adjustments can be made.
NOTE: Adjustments made to the RDP interface settings do not affect the Sentral
client settings.
