Local Resources

Use the Local Resources tab page to configure how local resources are used in a remote session.

Remote Audio

Click the Settings button to configure remote audio playback and recording options.

In the Remote audio playback section, Use the Remote computer drop-down list to select one of the following remote audio playback options:

• Bring to this computer . Audio from the remote computer will play on your local computer.
• Do not play . Audio from the remote computer will not play on your local computer and will be muted on the remote computer as well.
• Leave at remote computer . Audio will not play on your local computer but will play normally on the remote computer.

Use the Quality drop-down list to adjust the audio quality:

• Dynamically adjust based on available bandwidth . This option will increase or decrease the audio quality based on your connection speed. The faster the connection, the higher audio quality setting will be used.
• Always use medium audio quality . The audio quality is fixed at the medium level. You can use this option when you don't require the best possible audio quality and would rather use the available bandwidth for graphics.
• Always use uncompressed audio quality . The audio quality is fixed at the highest level. Select this option if you have a very fast connection and require the best possible audio quality.

The Recording (if applicable) option allows you to enable audio recording on the remote computer. For example, you can speak into a microphone on the local computer and use a sound recording application on the remote computer to record yourself.

Keyboard

Select how you want to apply key combinations (e.g. Alt+Tab) that you press on the keyboard:

• On the local computer . Key combinations will be applied to Windows running on the local computer.
• On the remote computer . Key combinations will be applied to Windows running on the remote computer.
• In full screen mode only . Key combinations will be applied to the remote computer only when in the full-screen mode.

Local Devices and Resources

Choose local disk drives, devices, and other resources that you want to redirect to a remote computer. Redirecting a resource makes it available for use in a remote session. For example, a redirected local disk drive will be available in a remote application, so you can read from and write to it.

The following options are available:

• Clipboard . Select this option to enable the local clipboard in a remote session.
• Disk drives . Select this option and then click Configure Drives . In the dialog that opens, select local drives you want to redirect. If you select the Use also disk drives that I plug in later option, disk drives that you connect to your local machine later will be automatically available in a remote session.
• Devices . Select this option and then click Configure Devices . Devices that are currently connected to your local computer will appear in the list. This includes supported Plug and Play devices, media players based on the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), and digital cameras based on the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). If a device is connected to your computer but does not appear in the list, it means it is not a supported Plug and Play device. Please note that disk drives and smart cards are excluded from this list (you redirect them using dedicated Disk drives and Smart cards options). The Show previously connected devices option displays devices that are not currently connected but were connected previously.
• Serial ports . Select this option to redirect serial ports.
• Smart cards . Select this option to redirect smart cards.
• Allow file transfer command . Whether to allow remote file transfer.
