Remote Help
Remote Help allows up to 15 computers or CNCs to be connected in a single internet
session, in which local touch screen, mouse, and keyboard control, as well as screens,
files, and chat information can be passed between all 15 members.
Remote Help insures system security by using a secure connection to the central
SharedView service. If firewall protections require it, SharedView can also use secure
https. In addition, only screen data is shared so viruses cannot be transmitted during
sessions. However, if a session takes advantage of the Handouts feature to share files,
virus protection software should be installed on the CNC.
Some applications for Remote Help are:
•
Observe an operator using the machine
•
Review settings and setups
•
Transmit setup files, part programs, software updates, etc.
•
Perform HPR diagnostics
•
Train operators on new features
