Mackie TT24 Tech Note Wireless Remote Control
4. Install the remote desktop client on your client/laptop computer:
The client software is installed by default on computers running Windows
XP Professional, but you must install it manually on computers with other
operating systems. The client software is an XP feature, but it is backwards
compatible. For example, you can use an XP CD to install this feature on
Win 2000, ME, 98 or 95 systems as follows:
a. If you have a Windows XP CD, insert it into your client computer’s
CD-ROM drive. When the Welcome page appears, click “Perform
additional tasks,” and then click “Setup Remote Desktop Connection.”
When the installation wizard starts, follow the directions that appear
on your screen.
or:
b. If you do not have the Windows XP CD, download the Client installer
from the following link and follow the on-screen instructions:
www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tools/rdclientdl.mspx
5. On the client/laptop computer, begin a remote desktop session:
a. Open Remote Desktop Connection. (Click Start, point to Programs
or All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, and
then click Remote Desktop Connection.)
b. In the “Computer” fi eld, type the computer name of your host
computer. (You wrote this down in step 3.b, remember?)
c. Click Connect. The “Log On to Windows” dialog box appears on your
client computer.
d. Enter your host computer’s user name, password, and domain (if
required), and then click OK. The remote desktop window will open
on your client computer, and you will see the desktop settings,
fi les, and programs of your host computer. Using remote desktop to
control a computer is just like using that computer directly; you can
do anything remotely, that you could do locally.
