Remote control

With ESIA, you can remotely take control of your equipment from the interface.

Requirements

You must have remote control software (Teamviewer / Logmein Central) installed on the equipment you wish to access.

Configuring nodes via the import module

Configuration via scan results

In the scan result, when configuring the detected elements, you can reference the software that will be used as well as the connection identifier for Teamviewer or the connection URL for Logmein (explained in the rest of this tutorial):

 Configuration scan

Mass configuration via the Remote Control tab

You can also mass-link several nodes already present in your ESIA.

To do this, go to the import menu, then click on the “Remote control” tab:

 Remote control tab

You can now reference one or more node groups containing the elements you want to configure for remote control.

Then click on “Start”.

A table listing all the nodes in the referenced groups will appear:

 Mass configuration result

Then click on “Validate”. Your nodes are now configured.

Configuration on a single node

We've seen how to configure several nodes en masse. This section looks at how to configure an individual node.

Go to the node view. If remote control has never been configured on the node, click the “Edit” button to go to the node's configuration page:

 Node configuration

Next:

  1. In the Advanced settings
  2. tab, select RDP
  3. Click on Add

 Node configuration - Advanced settings

You can see that a new row (RDP) has been added to the table below. Click on it to display the configuration parameters:

 Node configuration - RDP

Fill in the fields for remote control:

 Remote control configuration

Click Save. The configuration is now complete and you can close the Advanced Node Settings window to return to the node view.

To start the remote control, click the Remote Control button, which will now display the configured software logo:

 Getting started with Teamviewer

Retrieving connection information

Teamviewer and Logmein do not require the same configuration parameters. Teamviewer asks for a login and Logmein asks for a connection URL. Let's look at how to retrieve this identification information.

Teamviewer by identifier

For the Teamviewer software, all you need to do is retrieve the identifier from the equipment located at this point:

 Teamviewer identifier

Logmein by URL

To Logmein, you need to generate a connection URL. To do this, go to your Logmein account in the web interface, in the “Computers” tab.

Click on “Properties” for the computer concerned:

 Logmein web interface

Then click on the “Desktop shortcut” tab. Follow the “drag and drop” instructions to paste the shortcut on your desktop:

 Creating the desktop shortcut

All that's left to do is right-click on the shortcut and then copy and paste the URL into your ESIA.

 Desktop shortcut URL

Your ESIA node can now be used for remote control!
