Table 7-7 RDP Connection Manager > Experience (continued) Option Description Warning Timeout Specifies the amount of time in seconds after receiving the last network traffic from the server before the user is warned of a lost connection. This function can be disabled by clearing the option or setting the time to zero. With the Show Warning Dialog option selected, a warning dialog will be displayed when this timeout is reached. Otherwise, the warning is written to the connection log only. TIP: HP recommends increasing the timeout value for networks that experience frequent busy periods or momentary outages. Recovery Timeout Specifies the amount of time in seconds after receiving the last network traffic from the server that the RDP client waits for the connection to recover without taking any special action. At the end of this period, the RDP client attempts a quick reconnection with the session. Error Timeout Specifies the amount of time in seconds after receiving the last network traffic from the server that the RDP client waits before stopping attempts to reconnect with that server. TIP: Click the ? icon next to this field for more information. Table 7-8 RDP Connection Manager > Diagnostics Option Description Show Connection Health Graph With this option enabled, a two-dimensional graph of response time from the RDP server will be shown when the connection is started. TIP: Click the ? icon next to this option for more information. USB Redirection Analysis This feature determines and displays the current redirection method for each redirected USB device.

NOTE: See Common connection settings on page 26 for information about the settings available on the final page of the RDP Connection Manager. Using RemoteFX with RDP RemoteFX (RFX) is an advanced graphics display protocol that is designed to replace the graphics component of the traditional RDP protocol. It uses the hardware acceleration capabilities of the server GPU to encode the screen contents via the RFX codec and send screen updates to the RDP client. RFX uses advanced pipelining technologies and adaptive graphics to make sure that it delivers the best possible experience based on content type, CPU and network bandwidth availability, and rendering speed. RFX is enabled by default. The administrator or user does not have to change any settings to enable it. The RDP client negotiates with any RDP server it contacts, and if RFX is available, it will be used. To disable RFX, set the following registry key to 0: root/ConnectionType/freerdp/connections//remoteFx TIP: For simplified management, HP recommends that you enable or disable RFX on the remote host. 40 Chapter 7 RDP connections

Using RemoteFX with RDP

RemoteFX (RFX) is an advanced graphics display protocol that is designed to replace the graphics component

of the traditional RDP protocol. It uses the hardware acceleration capabilities of the server GPU to encode the

screen contents via the RFX codec and send screen updates to the RDP client. RFX uses advanced pipelining

technologies and adaptive graphics to make sure that it delivers the best possible experience based on

content type, CPU and network bandwidth availability, and rendering speed.

RFX is enabled by default. The administrator or user does not have to change any settings to enable it. The

RDP client negotiates with any RDP server it contacts, and if RFX is available, it will be used.

To disable RFX, set the following registry key to 0:

root/ConnectionType/freerdp/connections/<UUID>/remoteFx

TIP:

For

simpliﬁed

management, HP recommends that you enable or disable RFX on the remote host.
