Using the Service Client Manage MyMachines /Remote under Windows XP

Authorization software that enables you to use Manage MyMachines /Remote under Windows XP is available. Using this software, you authenticate a SINUMERIK control system with HMI-Advanced before you participate in a session with Manage MyMachines /Remote.

The program is a Windows .exe application that allows the authorization of older SINUMERIK control systems with the Windows XP operating system. Use the authorization software in addition to "Manage MyMachines /Remote Service Client".

Standard configuration - before using for the first time

The authorization software opens an authorization page in your standard web browser.

NOTE

Web browser

  • Use a web browser that communicates with MindSphere and the following functions of MindSphere.

  • Please note that communication may depend on the type of the operating system patches that are installed on the device.

  • Also note that the use of out-of-date browsers and operating systems require that special security mechanisms are implemented, for example firewalls that protect against external access. These measures are described e.g. in the application note and in standard security documentation provided by SIEMENS.

If additional proxy settings are used for applications in MindSphere, then also apply these settings for the authorization software.
Additional information about proxy settings is provided in the
Application examples, MindSphere Manage MyMachines /Remote - Installation in existing control system environments

    You can participate in the session once the service engineer has initiated it.

Error handling - backing up data for the login process

The authorization software does not manage the session between users and MindSphere.

If you wish to backup login data, then you can do this in your web browser, e.g. using cookies.

NOTE

Saving data in the browser

It is possible that the web browser remembers data that you use to populate input fields.

Change the default data privacy settings if you do not wish to automatically enter data such as tenant name or machine ID.
