Use remote assistance

When you have a question or a problem you can use remote assistance. The Service organisation or the support helpdesk can provide support via a remote connection.

The remote assistance session is active when you confirm the assistance request and as long as the session time has not expired.

To use remote assistance, the system administrator must first enable the remote connection on the control panel. Location: [System]  → [Setup]  → [System configuration]  → [Remote connection] .
