Starting a remote session as a SE

Only a service engineer can start a remote session.

NOTE

If you click the "Start new session" button and select an asset that is not online in Insights Hub or is not connected with the "Manage MyMachines" application, then the following warning message is displayed:
"The following action may not be possible due to a connection problem. Please confirm that the machine has an online connection."

You can still continue the process.

NOTE

Restrictions for simultaneous sessions

Do not start parallel sessions for the same asset with different users at the same time in different browsers. This results in undesirable behavior, such as two separate sessions for a single asset. The machine operator participates in the session that was started first.

NOTE

Note for machine operators

Do not press the "MMM /R" softkey until the service engineer has opened a new remote access session. Otherwise the connection may not be established.
