RDP Performance options, file, sound and printer sharing
Remotix supports a certain number of performance options for RDP connections. In Auto mode, Remotix assumes you’re connecting to an RDP server under the same Local Area Network. When you are on 3G, or have a slow internet connection, you can also select a Custom profile and set up the details manually.
These options are set in RDP server connection settings.
