## Configuring a Remote PC To access the properties of a Remote PC, highlight the computer in the navigation tree and click Tasks > Properties. This opens the Remote PC Properties dialog. The Properties Tab Page By default, a PC is enabled in the farm. When it is disabled, published applications and virtual desktops cannot be served from it. To enable or disable a PC in the farm, select or clear the Enable Remote PC option. If the IP or MAC address of a remote PC has changed, modify them using the Remote PC and MAC Address input fields. The Change Direct Address option allows you to specify an IP address that Parallels Client can use to connect to the PC directly. This address is only used in the Direct Connection mode and it could be an internal or external IP address. Note: The Wake On Lan option should be enabled in BIOS so the machine could be automatically turned on. If you are using a virtual machine, the option is usually supported by a hypervisor natively or via a 3rd party software. To test if the Wake On Lan option is turned on, close the Remote PC Properties dialog and then click the Test Wake on LAN button, which is located below the Remote PCs list. The Agent Settings Tab Page Each Remote PC in the farm has a RAS Remote PC Agent installed to provide a connection between the Parallels Remote Application Server and the PC. The agent can be configured on the Agent Settings tab page. Use the Port field, specify a different remote desktop connection port number. To increase the connection timeout of a remote PC, select a value from the Connection Timeout drop-down list. To change the amount of time each session remains connected in the background after the user has closed the published application specify a new value in the Publishing Session Timeout input field. This option is used to avoid unnecessary reconnections with the PC. To allow http and mailto links to be opened using a local application on the client computer rather than the server’s resources, enable the option Allow Client URL/Mail Redirection. To configure a list of URLs which should not be redirected, in the RAS Console, navigate to Farm / Site / Settings and click the URL Redirection tab. Configuring RDP Printing for Remote PC The RDP Printer tab allows you to configure the renaming format of redirected printers. The format may vary depending on which version and language of the server you are using. Set your RDP Printer Name Format specifically for the configured server by choosing any of the below options from the RDP Printer Name Format drop down menu: Printername (from Computername) in Session no. Session no. (computername from) Printername Printername (redirected Session no) The other RDP Printing options available in the RDP Printer tab are: Remove session number from printer name Remove client name from printer name
