The Microsoft RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) Client is an integral part
of the Windows-based Terminal. The RDP client enables a Visara
Windows-based Terminal to connect to a Microsoft Windows NT TSE
server to run PC applications. This thin client model provides a high
performance, cost-effective, and secure way to deploy, manage, and access
business-critical applications throughout an enterprise.

Windows NT TSE server. These RDP are applications that are displayed
on your Visara Windows-based Terminal. You can connect to the Microsoft
