Enter the username and password to the remote RPD (if you haven't changed anything, it's Administrator/Administrator)
Go ahead and accept the defaults
You should now see "remote_rpd" in your list of data sources
Finally, open up your BI Administration tool and you should see "remote_rpd" in your list
