In the ‘Host’ field enter the name or IP address of the Windows device you want to connect to.
In the ‘Port Number’ field enter the listening port of the remote desktop you want to connect to. The default port is 3389.

Change Screen size
You can determine how to change the screen size of the remote desktop window when the size of the Xmanager window changes.Not used
Regardless of the size of Xmanager's work area, the size determined by the Window Size is used. If the Xmanager workspace is larger, the remote desktop appears in the middle of the screen. If it is smaller, a scroll bar appears.Use Smart Resizing
The size determined in the window size above is adjusted to the size of the Xmanager window through the picture zoom function. If the size of the remote desktop is larger than the work area, the large horizontal and vertical portions are displayed reduced. However, the opposite case is not shown enlarged. Because the picture reduction function is used, the aspect ratio of the remote desktop may not be correct or the image quality may not be clear.Use Smart Reconnect
The size of the remote desktop is the same as that of the Xmanager window. If the size of the Xmanager window changes, it changes the size of the remote desktop accordingly. No reconnection required.Use legacy Reconnect
The size of the remote desktop is the same as the Xmanager window. If the size of Xmanager has changed, it terminates the session and runs the session again with the changed size. It may take some time to reconnect after the session ends.
Screen Scale
You can set the screen scale of the remote desktop. Monitors with high pixel density require increased desktop scaling. When using an RDP session, you can select Auto to match the default scaling for your monitor, or to launch the remote desktop at a scaling that you specify.Color
You can choose the color depth for your remote sessions. If you limit the color depth, the picture quality may be slightly lower or you may not be able to use the graphical effects of the remote window, but you can expect fast operation if the network is slow.Keyboard
