Server Lists

This tab allows you to create a new list or edit an existing list of Windows Terminal Servers for this session configuration.

Use Browse... to display the available Terminal Servers and use Add to add servers to the list.

By default all disconnected sessions are automatically restored. A Disconnected session is one that is temporarily interrupted using the Disconnect option of the Windows Start menu (Start > Shut Down > Disconnect), or by simply closing the session window without logging off. In this case, the user is automatically reconnected to the previous session and can continue working in the same application exactly where they stopped before disconnecting.

Options

This option lets you restrict user access to certain Windows Terminal Servers while at the same time taking advantage of the Load Balancing function. To do this, create a list of servers under Server List that are to be accessible in the network. Use one of the Search... or Add... buttons to create this list.

Depending on the options selected in the group box Connect a connection is established automatically to the server with the shortest response time, or you can select the server yourself from the responding server list.

If several terminal servers (a terminal server farm) are employed within your organization, you may take advantage of the function Load Balancing with this option. A request to connect is sent to all servers participating in the network.  All terminal servers within the server farm can be contacted and selected. The connection is made to a particular server using the settings selected on this tab, e.g. the first responding server, the server with the least load, etc.

Depending on the options selected in the group box Connect a connection is established automatically to the server with the shortest response time, or you can select the server yourself from the responding server list.

The broadcast connection type does not work with connections over the Internet, as most routers do not allow broadcasts to pass.

All options in this group box are only available if the Server List option is selected.

Shows the names and ports of all currently configured servers created via the Add... button.
