Setting Premium Remote Control Options

  • Last updated on

Premium Remote Control uses ISL Light technology to connect remotely to managed devices, allowing you to file transfer, chat, and perform various administrative functions as you resolve issues remotely. Premium Remote Control requires minimum configuration; the account credentials are automatically created when you enable it in System Settings, and the agent is automatically deployed to all managed devices.

For any site, you can set the option to install Premium Remote Control automatically on all devices when they are added to the site. This does not install Premium Remote Control on existing devices, only on new devices as you add them to the site.

You also have the option to enable consent, which requires the end user to give consent for remote access. If you enable consent, when a technician starts a Premium Remote Control session, your customer is presented with a window to allow or reject the access.

The Notification Timeout is the number of seconds that the customer has to respond before the request times out. If the request times out, the session either allows or rejects the connection, depending on the default option you choose.

You can add a custom consent message that will be displayed to the customer when you request a Premium Remote Control connection.

Best Practice

For sites where your customers may be working on critical tasks that cannot be interrupted or sensitive information that cannot be shared, enable the require consent option and set the default to Reject.
