Remote Control & Diagnostic

If you need to debug, diagnostic to your devices, actually, do not need go to field side. Through DeviceOn remote control to manage to reduce your operation effort. Basically, there are three functions (Screenshot, Terminal and Remote Desktop) for most devices.

Screenshot

Through the Screenshot to get device real-time screen, there is a limitation, your device must login to operation system, otherwise, cannot capture screen and shown “The OS of device is not logged in”. BTW, also support multiple screenshot, if your device connected multiple monitor.

Terminal

To terminal support any command to your devices, for instance, realize your device IP, traceroute the network or copy/view file on the device.

Both Windows and Linux supported.

Remote Desktop

DeviceOn leverage VNC (Virtual Network Computing) technology to achieve remote desktop, to bridge different network between public and private. User do not need to install any program, App on their laptop or mobile devices. Through DeviceOn website to remote desktop to debug and diagnostic. Please make sure your web client port (outbound) is allowed within (6083), and target device outbound port 8022.

From server version 4.7 and above and DeviceOn Agent version with 1.4.45 later, all connections are encrypted end-to-end, and by default remote computers are protected by a random password and data encryption.

If your device supports Intel AMT and be configured without any problem, the remote desktop will try to connect the VNC server that through direct mode and the icon will appear in the top right corner).

Second, if the Agent version higher than 1.4.45, you could do the file transfer via drag-and-drop. The default storage path is ‘C:\Windows\Temp’.

Windows Lockdown Functions

For others features depend on your device operation system and hardware. DeviceOn integrate Windows Lockdown features on 2019 LTSC (Long Time Service Channel) and 2016 LTSB (Long Time Service Branch) to provide advanced control, such as “Block USB Drives”, “Keyboard Filter”, “Block Windows Notification”, “Block Touch, Gesture” and “UWF (Unified Write Filter)”.

Audio Volume

Remote adjust audio volume or mute/unmute which supports on Windows operating system.

USB Drives

Prevent threats from outside USB drives, not include keyboard, mouse.

Function Key

Disables Ctrl, Alt, and WinKey.

Windows Notification

Disable touch control

UWF Protection

To protect your drives by intercepting and redirecting any writes to the drive (app installations, settings changes, saved data) to a virtual overlay. The virtual overlay is a temporary location that is usually cleared during a reboot or when a guest user logs off.

Benefits:

1. Provides a clean experience for thin clients and workspaces that have frequent guests, like school, library or hotel computers. Guests can work, change settings, and install software. After the device reboots, the next guest receives a clean experience.

2. Increases security and reliability for kiosks, IoT-embedded devices, or other devices where new apps are not expected to be frequently added.

3. Can be used to reduce wear on solid-state drives and other write-sensitive media.

Advantech Hardware Supported
