Requirements
- Established RemoteFX connection to the Windows PC through Remote Desktop Manager (option 133)
- Connection defined in the machine parameter CfgRemoteDesktop (no. 133500)
In the optional machine parameter connections (no. 133501), the machine manufacturer enters the name of the RemoteFX connection.

Description of function
Embedded Workspace is available on the control as an operating mode and as a workspace. If the machine manufacturer does not define a name, then the operating mode and workspace are both named RDP.
Entries cannot be made through the Windows PC as long as the RemoteFX connection is active. This avoids the problem of conflicting operation.
Windows Terminal Service (RemoteFX)
If you open Embedded Workspace as an operating mode, the control displays a full-screen version of the Windows PC user interface in it.
If you open Embedded Workspace as a workspace, you can change the size and position of the workspace as you wish. The control rescales the user interface of the Windows PC after each modification.

RDP settings window
If Embedded Workspace is open as a workspace, you can open the RDP settings window.
The RDP settings window contains the following buttons:
Button | Meaning |
---|---|
Reconnect | If the control could not establish a connection to the Windows PC, for example due to a timeout, press this button to try again. The control can also display this button in the operating mode and the workspace. |
Adjust resolution | With this button the control rescales the user interface of the Windows PC to the size of the workspace. |
