To use Xmanager sessions, set a remote UNIX/Linux host to support the XDMCP service for a remote X server. In general, dtlogin, kdm, gdm, lightdm, or xdm must be running on the host. For details about XDMCP service settings, refer to the proper UNIX/Linux manual.

  1. Open Xmanager folder on your desktop.

    •  Note
      Xmanager automatically finds all UNIX/Linux hosts in the local network. If the UNIX/Linux host to access is on a different network than the user's PC, register the UNIX/Linux host IP address or broadcast address in the Options dialog box. For setting details, see 'Automatic XDMCP Session'.
       If a UNIX/Linux host is not displayed in the Xmanager window, it means that the host is not prepared for an XDMCP connection.
