DTPT Limitations (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

The following list shows the limitations for Desktop Pass-through (DTPT).

  • DTPT functions over a point to point connection. Do not bridge the Windows Embedded CE adapter connection, use it in conjunction with Internet Connection Sharing, or manually configure the connection.
  • Before enabling DTPT on the device, Connection Manager disables all other network interfaces on the device to avoid multi-homing security violations.
  • At a given time, only one Windows Embedded CE device can use DTPT.
  • Only outgoing TCP/IPv4 packets are routed through the DTPT Server to the external host. However, you can transfer non-TCP and non-IPv4 packets to and from the host without using the DTPT technology.
  • Applications running on the client are not allowed to change the address of the Windows Embedded CE device, which is assigned by the DTPT Server.
  • The connected Windows Embedded CE device cannot have more than 1000 concurrent requests to the desktop.
  • Non-secure DTPT connections are not supported. DTPT was designed to work as a secure connection.**

When a DTPT connection is established, any WiFi and GPRS connections will be disconnected.
