ReverseConnect (Standard) Support E-mail Invitation
The ReverseConnect Support E-mail invitation is an efficient way for the Console user to invite a remote user who is new to Beyond Remote to quickly and easily download the necessary software and initiate a connection through their firewall/router to your Console, allowing you to perform any of the Beyond Remote functions on their computer.
Using the Remote Support E-mail Invitation
To initiate a remote support session, complete the information on the e-mail invitation window and click "send" to send an e-mail support invitation.
To initiate a remote support session:
1. Select the e-mail invitation button in the ReverseConnect window.
2. Complete the information in the e-mail invitation window and click "send" to send an e-mail support invitation.
Make sure you have selected "Start Listening" within ReverseConnect and that you have configured your router appropriately to accept incoming connection requests. To test your Internet connection, see the ReverseConnect IP Tools section.
The remote user will receive an e-mail that looks like the image on the right (except it will have you information in it).
