Remote Access Solution

If you want a cost-effective web access solution that still fulfills your security demands, use the Remote Access Solution in IGSS.

Installing the remote access software server-side and client-side is a breeze. Setting up the security is also very fast and intuitive. All the client needs is a browser and an ID/Password to get access to the plant's operator station.

Requirements

A remote access solution with IGSS has the following requirements:

Plant operator station must have the server version of the remote access software installed
Examples are TeamViewer, LogMeIn, GoToMyPC
The client must have a web browser installed

How it works

The client enters the URL for remote access to the operator station.
The client logs on to the server.
The client now takes over control of remote screen, mouse and keyboard.
The client has full access to all IGSS features, as if he was working on a normal operator station.

Security considerations

It is recommended to take the following security measures:

Restrict the client's permissions in the remote access software, as required
Set up a firewall between the web client and the plant operator station
Set up User Administration in IGSS

With this in place, you have a very secure web access solution. To automate the logon process for the user further:

On the client, configure that the remote access will Auto-start with Windows.

Predefine the remote access ID and password.

Examples

The example below shows a client connected to an IGSS operator station using TeamViewer.
