Set up web access for clients in just a few minutes

The IGSS Remote Access Solution is a cost-effective web access solution which meets the demands for easy access regardless of time or place and without reducing security requirements

Installing the remote access software server-side and client-side is simple. Setting up 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 for example TeamViewer where a client-version is included in the IGSS Master. Other examples are LogMeIn or 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 the 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

To improve security, we recommend doing the following:

• 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.

To automate the login 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.
