This walkthrough will illustrate using Microsoft Remote Desktop client on a Mac laptop for remoting into your Raspberry Pi (this is virtually the same process for Windows. For Linux, here’s a great guide: https://www.howtogeek.com/429190/how-to-set-up-remote-desktop-on-ubuntu).

**It appears that no video cable connection to the device is required for RDP to work, otherwise you will have a black screen when using RDP. Be sure to power off or reboot the device prior to unplugging the HDMI/video cable to avoid damaging your device - especially for the QORTector.**

1. Click on 'Add PC' and define the connection for Pi TITAN, in this example shows connecting via ip address located earlier from the connected devices in our router/modem. Another option would be via hostname: titan.local  (just replace the 'titan' portion with whatever version your device is - such as 'plumbus' for QORTector customers).
