Introduction to WinConnect Server XP
Product Description
WinConnect Server XP is a software solution that enables a Windows Small Business Server 2003 or
Windows XP (Home and Professional Editions) Host computer to allow multiple Remote Desktop
Protocol (RDP) 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2-enabled devices (such as Terminals, Internet/Information
Appliances, Tablet PCs and PDAs) to connect to it to run Windows applications simultaneously and
independently. You can remotely connect and control your computer from another office, from home,
or while traveling. This allows you to use the data, applications, and network resources that are on your
office computer, without being in your office.
A broadband Internet connection over digital subscriber line (DSL, ADSL) or Integrated Services
Digital Network (ISDN) connection improves performance, but it is not necessary because Remote
Desktop transfers only the minimal data (such as display data and keyboard data) to remotely control
your Host computer. Therefore, even low–bandwidth Internet connections or a wired or wireless
TCP/IP connection, local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), dial-up (Internet), virtual
private network (VPN) connection allow you to remotely connect to your office computer.
Users on the Thin Client devices may run the same or different applications simultaneously and
independently to create and edit documents, and to share peripherals, for example, CD-ROM, printers
and other hardware installed on the Host computer. All users can also surf the Internet and access
emails at the same time and even share network access with unique customized desktop and login.
Hardware Requirements
WinConnect Server XP requires a Windows Small Business Server 2003 or Windows XP (Home or
Professional Edition) computer with Network/Internet connection. For Windows Small Business
Server 2003, the minimum memory requirement for 2 users (1 Host user and 1 Remote Desktop user) is
384MB. For Windows XP, the minimum memory requirement for 2 users (1 Host user and 1 Remote
Desktop user) is 256MB. An additional memory of 64MB or more is required for each additional
Remote Desktop user, depending on the applications the user will be running.
Manufacturer’s Notice
The WinConnect Server XP allows multiple users to simultaneously and independently share the same
hardware and software installed on the Host computer. Some software is licensed for use on a single
computer while other software may be licensed for single or multiple users. It is the responsibility of the
WinConnect Server XP purchaser/user to read and comply with the licensing agreements of any
software that may be used on the RDP devices.
A separate Windows XP license may be required for each RDP device connected to the Host computer
running Windows XP. It is the responsibility of the WinConnect Server XP purchaser/user to read and
comply with the Windows XP licensing agreement or contact Microsoft for clarification regarding this
licensing requirement.
Terminology
The Host is the computer where Windows Small Business Server 2003 (Premium or Standard Edition)
or Windows XP (Home or Professional Edition) and WinConnect Server XP software are installed.
The Client is the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2-enabled device (such as Terminal,
Internet/Information Appliance, Tablet PC and PDA).
