Configuration of RdpClientTest

The RdpClientTest reports on latencies seen by the users connecting to a Microsoft RDS/VMware Horizon View RDS server.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• The PORT at which the HOST listens has to be specified in the PORT text box.

• By default, the DISPLAYDOMAIN flag is set to False, indicating that only the names of the discovered users will be displayed in the eG monitor interface. If you want the user names to be pre-fixed by domain names in the format DOMAIN\USERNAME, then set the DISPLAYDOMAIN flag to True.

• The size of packets used for the test has to be specified in the PACKETSIZE text box.

• Number of packets exchanged between the Microsoft RDS server and the user terminal during the test has to be given in the PACKETCOUNT text box.

• The TIMEOUT text box defines the maximum time (in seconds) that the test waits for the response to a transmitted packet. A response received after the TIMEOUT period is ignored by the test.

• The PACKETINTERVAL text box represents the interval (in milliseconds) between successive packet transmissions during the execution of this test.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
