Accessing Your Unit Remotely

172 FTB-2 and FTB-2 Pro

Working with Remote Desktop

By default, the remote access to your unit with Remote Desktop is not

enabled. However, once you enable it, all the accounts with administrator

rights can use Remote Desktop. If you want accounts with limited rights to

be able to use it as well, you must specifically grant them access.

You can also configure the unit to prevent users from accessing it remotely.

Accessing Your Unit with Remote Desktop

To be able to connect to the unit using Remote Desktop, you must:

 Allow the remote access to your unit (only necessary the first time that

you access your unit with Remote Desktop).

 Know the IP address of the unit and provide it in the connection

settings on the computer.

Note: If your unit and the computer are on the same network, you can even use

the computer name of your unit, which corresponds to “FTB2-” followed by

its serial number. You can view the computer name of your unit from

System Settings > Remote Session > Computer Name.

 Use an account that is secured by a password. Remote Desktop will

not allow any connection with empty passwords.

 Enter the appropriate user name when Remote Desktop application

prompts you. Usually, this user name must correspond to the user

name of the person currently logged on the unit. Otherwise, you will

disconnect the person that was already connected.
