Connect to your deployment with Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)

You can manage your XProtect VMS installation from an RDP client.

1. Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/ and select Instances.

2. Select the Instance ID of your EC2 instance.

   If you do not know your Instance ID, see Get the EC2 Instance ID.

   Then, select Connect.

3. In Connect to instance, select RDP client, then select Download Remote Desktop File.
4. Open the downloaded .rdp file and select Connect on any identification warnings that might appear.
5. Log in with the user name and password you specified during deployment and select Connect.

You are now connected to the VPC and the EC2 instance, which is running XProtect.

Make sure you have added your IP address on the inbound rules list of the security group that is associated with the instance.
