Establishing Remote connection¶

Service Engineers requires a secure remote connection to establish the connection with the asset to resolve the identified error. In order to achieve secure remote connection, the machine owner / operator has to accept the request permission initiated by the service engineers. Once the machine owner / operator grants the permission, service engineers establishes the connection with the asset to make the necessary changes or updates on the asset as per the analysis performed. The secure remote connection is achieved through a secure tunnel to the affected asset after accepting the request for an incoming connection on either a desktop or a mobile application.
