View source for Enable Remote Desktop on OptiView XG Tablet PC


== Introduction ==

Although OptiView XG comes with an application called&nbsp;Remote User Interface, many applications that run on OptiView Tablet PC - like the AriMagnet&nbsp;suite of products - are not available via that&nbsp;RUI.

This procedure describes how to set up Remote Desktop on the OptiView Tablet PC to use applications like AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer and Airmagnet Spectrum XT remotely, without compromizing its integrity.

There is one restriction: at any time there can be only one user connected to the OptiView Desktop (Local or Remote).
