Installing BeAnywhere
Support Express
Chapter II

Downloading and installing BeAnywhere Support Express:
1. Go to www.beanywhere.com. Hit the orange Free Download button.
2. Download the tech console and run it.
3. Select the download destination and click Next.
It’s possible to install BeAnywhere in as many computers and pen drives as you’d like,
but only a predetermined number of licensed technicians will be able to login to it
concurrently. But feel free to create as many techs as you need.
Installing BeAnywhere Support Express
4. Select the components that you wish to install and click Install when done.
DEFINITIONS
Portal – This will be the Web page to which you’ll direct your client to initiate a
support session. There are various URLs you can choose from – to setup your portal
URL, please go to the Profile>Integration>Exclusive Link in the Admin
Area (see Administration Area chapter to learn more).
PIN Code – This is the 6-digit code provided to a client. The client introduces this
code on the Portal in order to launch a support request.
Console – The Console is the interface from which the technician is able to manage
clients, request and interact with other techinicians. The Console window presents
a number of different assistance and management tools. An unlimited number of
simultaneous sessions is possible.
Applet – The Applet is the interface from which the client can end a support session
at any time and initiate/maintain a chat with the technician. There are two versions
of the Applet: One for Windows and the other one for Mac computers.
Agent - Contrary to the Applet, the Agent remains installed on a remote machine
(Windows only). The Agent allows unattended access to the computer but also enables
it to take advantage of advanced Remote Management and Monitoring features.

BeAnywhere
Support Express Components
Chapter III

T hese are the main elements of a BeAnywhere
Support Express session:
PORTAL
Through this website, a client can send a support request and establish a connection
with the technician.
A client using Windows only needs to enter the previously provided PIN Code or
the Calling Card activation code (Calling Cards are not available for Mac users).
Then, just click on the DOWNLOAD button. These are two of the simplest ways
to connect to a BeAnywhere technician, but there are alternatives (see Alternative
ways to start a session).
BeAnywhere Support Express Components

CONSOLE
The Console provides an interface from which you’re able to manage incoming
requests and start providing the needed support to any given client. The latest
console versions are available in www.beanywhere.com.
It’s possible to install it directly to a computer or take advantage of its portable
features by installing it into an USB pen drive. A lite Web Console is also available
from BeAnywhere’s public site or from the client’s Admin Area, allowing remote
access from any device compatible with Java 1.6 or later.
You can truly provide assistance to your clients from anywhere – all you need is a PC
with an Internet connection.

APPLET
The Applet is a small Windows or Mac application running on the client’s computer
– but not permanently installed.
This interface allows the client to maintain a conversation with the technician.
As long as this window is active (opened or minimized), the technician is able to
perform all the necessary support tasks, including features as remote control, system
information, chat and VoIP communications, among many others.

AGENT
Like the Applet, the Agent enables remote access, but it’s installed as a Windows
Service. This means the application enables unattended access to the computer in
which it is deployed. It also provides a different set of features.
Features
Nothing is installed on the client’s computer
Clients can block features during a session
Supports direct TCP mode
Supports RDP sessions directly
Is available for Mac computers
Can share the screen with the client
Supports a second layer of authentication
Applet Agent
Has VoIP communications
Supports RMM functionality (inSight Lite)
Allows for unattended access
Can raise differred support tickets
Can access multiple terminal services sessions
Table 1 - This table shows the main differences between the Applet and the Agent.

Chapter 4
Login and Start
Chapter IV

Login and Start
At the bottom right of the window you will see the Network Status link. Through it
you will be able to access information about the health and load of the infrastructure
supporting BeAnywhere Support Express. This page also measures the connection
from your computer to BASE services.
To start BeAnywhere Support Express:
A fter the console’s installation, just initiate the application and
begin the necessary login procedures.
If you haven’t yet installed BASE, please go to www.beanywhere.com, where you’ll
find the most recent version.
CONSOLE’S START SCREEN
Enter your e-mail address and password in the login window and click LOGIN. If you
don’t have an account yet, click NEW ACCOUNT.
You can also use the dropdown box to change the language.
In specific cases, a Proxy Settings link may also be shown on the bottom of the login
Window to allow the correct configuration of the network access.

CLOSE OR EXIT BEANYWHERE SUPPORT EXPRESS
To close BeAnywhere Support Express simply click the “X” placed on the top right
corner of the Console window. However, keeping the Console running in the
background is strongly advised – that’s the only way to take notice, in real time, of
any incoming session requests.
To keep the console running in the background, just minimize the Console
window. You can restore it anytime by clicking the BASE icon - - placed on
your system tray.
Login and Start

Chapter V

Support Sessions
Step 2: Share the PIN Code with your client
Focus on Option 1 (please see Alternative ways to start a session to learn about
Option 2). By clicking in the six number code you’ll immediately copy it to the
clipboard. Now you must send that code to your client (by e-mail, for instance) and
direct that same client to your assistance Portal.
START A SUPPORT SESSION
T here are various ways to initiate a new session (see Alternative
ways to start a session). One of the simplest ways is the PIN Code -
generate a PIN Code, then convey it to your client.
Step 1: Generate a PIN Code
You will need to generate a different PIN Code for each client you support. A PIN
Code has a variable expiration (for more information see Profile>Identification). To
use it, check the New Session option in the Home tab of your console and click the
START NEW SESSION button.
The client only needs to insert the PIN Code in the corresponding field and the
download of the support applet will be initiated.

ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO START A SESSION
The Pin Code option is probably the most immediate and easiest way to attend to
a client.
Site Integration: Take advantage of a Get Support button integrated within
any of your web sites or applications, enabling your clients to send a support
request with a simple touch of a button. Please check the section Site Integration
for more information.
Exclusive Link: In order to improve your brand awareness and make it easy
for your clients to remember the support URL, you’ll be able to create an Exclusive
Link, which may not even require a PIN Code. You can integrate, for instance, your
company’s name in the actual URL (see Admin Area chapter for more ).
Software API: Our powerful API empowers you to integrate BeAnywhere
in any software, enabling your clients to send a support request in an easy and
seamless fashion.
Support Link: Very similar to the PIN Code, you only have to copy the Support
Link from the console interface and provide it to the client. Following the link, the
client will initiate the simple procedures needed to engage in a Remote Session.
Support Sessions
Calling card: The technician is able to generate a Calling Card, in the form of a
download link or of a reference to be used in the assistance portal. In the Home tab
of the Console, make sure to select the New Calling Card option and click on the
GENERATE CALLING CARD button. You can copy the reference or the link to the
clipboard, or just send the link through your own regular e-mail account (refer to
Admin Area>E-Mail templates for more information).
Your client only needs to download the special Calling Card applet and run it
anytime. Clicking on it will launch a new support request without further PIN codes
or downloads. Calling Cards can be reused an unlimited number of times, whenever
the client needs to contact the support services (for more information, please check
the Calling Cards chapter).
Check our video tutorial to learn about all the Alternative Ways to start a session.

ENDING A SUPPORT SESSION
The tech or the client can end a support session at anytime. To end a session, the
technician simply needs to click on the Close button, at the top right of the Console.
To end a session, the client simply needs to click the “X” at the top right of the Applet.
Support Sessions
IMPORTANT:
BASE Agent writes several events to the Windows Application Log, including the
beginning and the end of unattended sessions.

Chapter VI

Providing Assistance to Your Clients
MAIN CONSOLE ELEMENTS
T he console is devide into four main elements: the header, the footer, the left
pane and the right pane.
IMPORTANT:
Log files are crucial to diagnose any issues that may occur. When contacting
BeAnywhere’s support, please provide the Console log files, as well as the ones
pertaining to the remote Applet (just right-click over the Applet logo to open the
log folder) or to the remote Agent (use the Send troubleshoot report option
available on the context menu of the BeAnywhere Agent tray icon).
IMPORTANT:
BASE console uses the proxy information stored on Internet Explorer. In certain
scenarios, further configuration may be required.
IMPORTANT:
Besides the Windows®
Console, there is also a basic Java™ console functionality,
meant to be used on other operating systems and also in situations where the
regular console cannot be installed. This option only provides basic remote access
and chat (i.e. no VoIP, File Transfer, System Shell, System Information, etc.). While it
is expected to be updated from time to time, to keep compatibility and, eventually,
to add some features, it will never provide the same amount of tools present on
the regular console.
!
!
!
On the header, you’ll find various options.
You can use the Admin Area link (see Admin Area chapter), the Chat link (see Chat)
or the Options link – here you’ll be able to set up an array of simple settings (hear a
sound whenever a new request arrives, automatically launch with Windows, change
password, set up the proxy settings or get direct access to the log folder).
On the header menu there are also two other options that might open inside the
console or in the default web browser, depending on the configuration: History
(list of previous sessions from one or all techs) and Inbox (deferred support tickets
associated with the tech).Finally, at the right, you will find the Log Off option. Click
it to Log Off.

IMPORTANT:
After accepting the request, the remote session will start. A new Viewer window will
open If the session is being made using an Applet, and, depending on the settings
defined on your Admin Area, the client may or may not have the option to block all
the session features (except chat). If that option is enabled, some or all of the tabs
except General and System Information might be disabled.
!
The footer of the console window is reserved to display tabs of the current sessions
being performed. Clicking on each tab with the left mouse button will bring the
corresponding session to focus; a right-click allows you to copy the session details
to the clipboard.
On the top of the right pane, all the users who are logged in the helpdesk center are
listed, along with the number of sessions currently handled by each one.
All the pending support requests you might have will be presented on the first tab of
the left pane. Clicking on a request will activate the associated details (on the right
pane). You can accept the request, thus initiating a remote support session, transfer the
request for another technician, or simply reject it (which will delete it from the queue, so
please double-check before rejecting requests that were not meant specifically to you).
The second tab shows the list of computers with BeAnywhere Agent installed, ready
to receive unattended support (see more at the Unattended Support chapter).

IMPORTANT:
Switching to any tab other than General while on chat will open it in a popup
which will always be on top of the corresponding viewer. This way, the technician
can continue to send and receive messages during the course of the session
without having to go back and forth tabs.
CHAT
Technicians have the ability to chat with others, using their Support Express console,
and engage in three different scenarios:
a) With a client, in the context of a remote session;
b) With a potential client on the Web, before the establishment of a remote session;
c) With colleagues.
a) With a client, in the context of a remote session
To make use of chat within a remote session, select the General tab in the
corresponding Viewer window and type your message in the textbox located at the
lower-right area. To send, click on the send icon or press the <Enter> key.
In order to use this feature, two steps must be taken:
1. Provide permissions for the intended technicians, using the Admin Area,
under Management>Technicians.
2. To add flexibility, each technician has its own link, which will open a webpage
with a chat box. The links can be found on the Admin Area>Profile>Integration.
For more information, please refer to the Admin Area chapter.
c) With colleagues
At the console’s homepage, you’ll notice the Chat option at the top right. Click it.
The new window that will open is divided in three: a header and two main panes (left
and right). The left pane is divided into two tabs: The first one – Chat Sessions – lists the
current chats, while the second – Technicians – will show the techs of the helpdesk center.
It is possible to view the availability of each tech, as well as start a conversation by selecting
one or several simultaneously. The right pane contains the chat area.
!
b) With a potential client in the Web, before the establishment
of a remote session
BeAnywhere Support Express provides a very simple tool to integrate chat with
techniciansonawebsiteorapplication,whichcanbeusefulinmanydifferentsituations
(e.g. to assess the need of further support, to provide a direct communication
channel between a prospecting visitor in a website and sales rep, etc.).
On the left of the header you’ll find two icons which allows you to change the availability
of the current technician to chat with clients or with colleagues.

VOICE CALLS
Besides text chat, BASE also provides the ability to perform voice calls to both clients
and other technicians.
Making calls to clients
This option can only be used on Applets, regardless running on limited or privileged
mode on UAC systems.
The technician has the ability to start the call by clicking on the Session menu in the
footer of the viewer, and then on Start VoIP Call.
A new window will appear, pinned on the interface, showing mic and speaker volume
meters, a settings link (allowing the tech to choose the appropriate audio devices)
and a button to end the call.
Clicking one of the two icons shown will mute the respective device, and it is also
possible to adjust the speaker volume by moving the slider presented.
To end the call, the technician just needs to click the END CALL button or on
Session>Stop VoIP Call. It is not possible for the remote client to start a call or to
hang up. He can simply mute both local audio devices or close the applet.
A technician can have multiple simultaneous calls with clients and with colleagues.
All the audio streams are completely independent, so the tech mic will be able
to reach everyone, but each separated call will not get audio directly from other
calls. The technician might take advantage of this and keep several conversations
at the same time, muting and unmuting calls at will. The same occurs with the
applet. Multiple applets can run at the same time in the client’s computer (or the
same applet can be shared by several technicians), so several conversations can
be maintained simultaneously.
IMPORTANT:
BASE uses an advanced audio codec to transport the call between computers.
It has several enhancements to assure the best performance in every scenario:
if a session with an ongoing VoIP call is disconnected, the call will be resumed
when the session reconnects. Also, if no sound is detected by the mic for a
certain time, the audio transmission will be paused to limit the bandwidth of
the call; when sound is picked up again by the microphone, the transmission
will automatically resume.
!

Making calls to other Techs
The ability to do VoIP calls is available on the chat window of the console (by
selecting the Chat link on the console header). On the list of technicians, right-click
the relevant technician and select Start VoIP call with Tech.
Contrary to clients, techs have the ability to refuse calls. A popup similar to the one
presented on new sessions will appear to the receiver of the call, giving the option
to accept or reject the call.
It is also possible to call multiple techs at the same time and, contrary to what
happens with client calls, to create a conference.
Check our video tutorial about Chat and VoIP.

ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES AND WINDOWS USER
ACCESS CONTROL (UAC)
BASE is fully compatible with Windows UAC (User Access Control).When you’re
controlling a computer with Windows Vista (or newer), you can ask for administrative
privileges to your client, allowing you to have full access to their computer.

Providing Assistance to Your Client
Footer menu bar:
● Add PC to My Computers list (Applet only) – tries to install a BASE Agent on
the remote computer. If the Applet is not being run with the necessary permissions,
a warning will pop up in order to fix that.
● Request Administrator Privileges (Applet only) – if the Applet is being run with
limited privileges, this option will be available. Required Administrator credentials
can be provided either by the client or by the technician, but the client always has
to explicitly authorize the elevation if UAC is enabled. The remote Applet will be
restarted, which will cause the connection to break. The session will be resumed as
soon as the Applet comes back online.
● Ask Remote User Credentials (Applet Only) – This setting requires elevated
privileges and is used for completely unattended restart and reconnect operations
during a session. This is not the same as installing a BASE Agent, as it is temporary
and might not work in some scenarios (e.g. blank Windows password or non-
standard security policies in the remote computer).
● Emergency Reboot – Using this option restarts the computer immediately,
forcefully terminating all the programs and the Operating System as quickly as
possible. As it can damage opened files, it’s meant to be used only as a last resource.
● Restart & Shutdown – Allows the shutdown or the regular restart of the remote
computer. The options contained vary according with the privileges of the session
and its type (Agent or Applet).
PERFORMING A SUPPORT SESSION
After accepting a request (or accessing an unattended computer), the Viewer
window will open. It is divided into three main areas: a header with tabs, a footer
with contextual options and a central pane, which is also contextual.
IMPORTANT:
The session context is showed at the title bar: “[*]” for connections to the Agent,
“[-] “ when the connection is made to an Applet in user mode, and “[+]” when
the connection is to an Applet with elevated privileges. The computer name is
also on the title bar.
!
On the central pane of the General tab, besides the Chat feature already
discussed, technicians have at their disposal the Quick Dashboard and the
Request Details areas.
Quick Dashboard
This area shows an overview of the computer current configuration, like the
operating system, CPU, memory and hard disk, and the network setup.
Request Details
Under this area, the technician can add or change the client’s details and the
problem description. It’s also possible to add notes that will be associated with the
session, for future reference. There is also the possibility to select an e-mail address
to where a report of the session can be sent. Any change has to be saved before
selecting other tabs.
Computer
This menu combines all the operations
that can be performed on the computer
at a global level. The options available
will be slightly different depending on
the access being made through an
Applet or through a BASE Agent:

● Use RDP (Agent only) – When the remote computer settings are correct, techs
can use Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol instead of BeAnywhere’s. While the
RDP client is opened, the remote tab on the Viewer will be disabled.
● Port Forward – Allows the forwarding of TCP traffic from a local port to a port on
the remote computer, inside the BeAnywhere session. For more information, please
refer to Port Forwarding.
● Send Survey – Depending on the tech permissions and helpdesk center configurations
(setup in Management>Surveys in the Admin Area), a completely customized
survey may be sent to the client during a support session. Clicking on this item
will open the list of Surveys currently available. Please select one and click OK. The
survey will be opened in a browser window of the remote computer. The answers
can then be viewed on Reports>Surveys in the Admin Area.
Session
This menu combines the features needed
to manage a specific session:
● Transfer/Share – Transfers a session to another technician, or allows the invitation
of multiple technicians to the same session. For more information, please refer to the
Sharing and Transferring Sessions chapter.
● Pause this Session – Puts the session in the request queue again, to resume at a
later time. Technicians will have to keep in mind that if an Applet is terminated or if
the computer with the BASE Agent shuts down, or otherwise becomes disconnected,
the paused session will be removed from the queue.
● Start VoIP Call – Using a fast, high quality voice codec, techs can easily and
seamlessly communicate with the supported clients inside the BeAnywhere session.
For more information please refer to the Using Voice Calls.
● Disconnect – Ends the remote session, but does not close the viewer, so the session
might be restarted. This is very usefull in Applet sessions, because it is possible to stop
and restart the session without requiring the user to insert another PIN Code.
Advanced
Under this menu, technicians will find
more specific options:

USING REMOTE DESKTOP
Clicking on the tab Remote Desktop will give the technician the opportunity to
control the remote computer. The remote’s screen image will appear immediately in
most of the scenarios, but there are some circumstances in which the initial picture
may take some time to be displayed (e.g. on a server with multiple Terminal Services
sessions running concurrently, or trying to connect to a computer with a very poor
Internet connection). On those cases you can try to press “CTRL+SHIFT+F5” with
the mouse cursor outside of the remote screen (or with the “Scroll Lock” key on) to
force a screen refresh. You can disconnect and reconnect the session.
Footer menu bar:
View
This menu combines all the visualization
options related with the Remote Desktop
feature, including parameters that may
change image quality or improve the
overall remote control experience:
IMPORTANT:
If you scale down the picture using a specific value (from 10% to 90%), the
amount of image data transmitted during the BeAnywhere session will be
decreased, which can be useful in slow connections. The downscale has to be
explicit: this benefit will not occur when options Always fit to Window or
Downscale to Window are used.
!
● Color – It’s possible to select several color modes, including some specially
optimized for low bandwidth. Existing color modes are constantly being optimized,
and new modes are added regularly - technicians should try to explore the settings
and find those that work best on each scenario.
● Show Remote Cursor – This setting is enabled by default and allows the
technician to view the remote mouse pointer.
● Size - You can change the size of the image of your client’s desktop within your
session window. You can resize the remote screen between 10% to 200% of its
original size. You can also downscale the screen to the viewer window or choose
Always fit to Window - in this case, the remote screen will always be adjusted to
the size of the Viewer’s window.
IMPORTANT:
When activating the Scroll Lock key, all shortcuts will be executed locally.
!

● Change TS Session (Agent Only) – By default, the Agent will remotely control the
local Terminal Services (TS) session on a computer. If the computer is a Terminal Server
with several concurrent users, this feature will allow the cycling through different TS
sessions. BASE can only control active sessions (a user has to be interacting with the
TS session, it’s not enough just to be logged on).
● View Only – Disables local input to the client’s machine. Can be very useful when
the technician only needs to monitor the screen activity without disrupting the
activities that are being performed on the remote computer.
● Full Screen – Brings the console to full screen, hiding the header and footer bars
in the Remote Desktop mode. To exit this mode, just approach the mouse to the
upper edge of the screen and wait for the header to reappear. Then double-click on
any empty space. You can also use the icon, placed on the right corner of the header,
or use the shortcut keys: first press the scroll lock key and then “SHIFT+CTRL+F”.
Monitors
This menu lists all the monitors of the remote computer and allows the technician
to cycle through all the available devices. A left-click lists the monitors, while a right
click lets you cycle between each of them.
● Send “CTRL+ALT+DEL” (Agent only) – Sends the “CTRL+ALT+DEL” command
to the remote machine.
● Block Remote Keyboard and Mouse – Disables the physical keyboard and mouse
of the remote machine. For security reasons, remote users can stop this blockage by
pressing “CTRL+ALT+DEL”.
● Blank Screen – Blanks the remote monitor, in order to protect the confidentiality of
the remote control operations. It is not advisable to use this feature on CRT monitors.
● Remove Desktop Background (Applet only) – Removes the background of the
remote desktop in order to save bandwidth, or restores it, if the speed is not constrained.
The default configuration for this option can be setup in the Admin Area (for more
information, please refer to the Admin Area chapter).
● Lock Remote Operating System (Agent only) – Locks the remote Windows session.
● Laser Pointer – The technician’s mouse movements are reproduced as a colored
dot in the remote computer, which is useful for training. There are different colors for
each mouse state (normal, left-click, middle-click, right-click).
● Start/Stop Recording Video – Initiates or stops the video recording of the session
(FLV format). The recording is performed on the tech’s console side and the videos
are automatically uploaded to the cloud as soon as no sessions are being performed
by the technician. While the videos are not fully uploaded, they will be stored in the
FLV folder, under the Console installation folder.
● Take Screenshot – Saves a screenshot of the remote screen, in JPG format.
● Share My Screen (View Only) [Applet only] – Shares the tech screen with the
remote client. The client can adjust the image size (and place the image in full screen),
apart from color.
Commands
Under this menu you are going to find
those actions, intended to direct an order
to the remote computer:
Interactions
This menu contains the features that will
directly interact with the remote computer:

● Share Control of My Screen (Keyboard and Mouse) [Applet only] – Gives
the remote client full control over the tech’s keyboard and mouse. These share screen
features are completely compatible with having multiple techs on a session and with
VoIP, so a remote client can be talking with multiple support representatives, all of them
controlling his machine and showing their remote screens at the same time.
● Copy / Paste>Get Remote Clipboard – Gets the remote clipboard contents
(text only) and copies those to the local clipboard. This is useful when “CTRL+C /
CTRL+V” commands are not working.
● Copy / Paste>Send Local Clipboard – Gets the local clipboard contents (text only)
and copies those to the remote clipboard. This is useful when “CTRL+C / CTRL+V”
commands are not working.
Check our video tutorial about the Remote Desktop.
IMPORTANT:
When accessing a computer in a Terminal Services session, remember that when
minimizing the RDP client you will automatically prevent the remote image
transmission to any software, including BeAnywhere Support Express (an error
message will be presented). Please, don’t use the Applet in these circumstances or
- in the agent’s case - switch the view to a TS session that hasn’t been disconnected
or minimized. If you fail to find a valid alternative, make sure that the Terminal
Service session user does not minimize the RDP client.

STATUS BAR
The Tech Console uses a traffic light system to identify the status of the connection
between the technician and the client. The connection status can influence the
performance of the solution. Both the Response Time and the Loss Percentage
registered in a session are now classified by severity and shown to the technician.
Green means a good performance - no problems are expected due to this indicator.
Yellow means that the performance may decrease. Red appears when the session is
being disrupted by connection problems between the both parties.
What do those two indicators mean?
Response - It’s the time that the information takes to travel between the Tech
Console and the client’s PC, or vice-versa. This value depends on the quality of the
Internet connection in both machines, and also on the amount of traffic handled by
the ISPs participating in the connection at a given moment (ex. Client ISP + Tech ISP
or Client ISP + Intermediary ISP + Tech ISP). Hardware failures on both computers
and on ISP devices can also hamper the connection.
Why it matters: This metric influences the responsiveness of the Remote Control
feature (i.e. the time between the moment the tech moves the mouse in the console
and the moment that command is executed in the client computer - and the Tech
Console screen is refreshed). The more network problems that exist, the more
adverse user experience will be.
Loss - It’s the percentage of lost packets during the time of the connection. This
value depends on the quality of the Internet connection in both machines, and ideally
should be zero even in slow connections. It can be influenced by hardware problems
on the machines or with the ISPs participating in the connection. Bad networking is
also a big factor (damaged cabling, poor quality signal on Wi-Fi networks…)
Why it matters: It influences the Remote Control user experience (less information
correctly transmitted means a slower remote control, or problems with the refresh
on the screen) and also on the speed of the File Transfer feature (because all the lost
packages have to be resent until everything has been correctly received).
The status bar also shows two more values:
UL - It shows the upload speed at a given moment.
DL - It shows the download speed at a given moment.

SYSTEM SHELL
Most of the remote support or system administration tasks can be performed at a
low level, not requiring a full remote desktop connection.
On those scenarios, a command line is not only more flexible and faster, but it also
adds the advantage of being less demanding on bandwidth. Also, there are situations,
especially during support sessions, in which the remote graphical environment may
be damaged or unresponsive. BASE provides an emulated command line that can
be used to speed up the most common tasks.
BASE System Shell can be used in two different ways : a standard windows CMD
prompt or a Powershell prompt (if available). Both of them have full administrative
privileges and can be used to run batch files or WSH (Windows Scripting Host) scripts
(if they can be interpreted by the remote system). On the top left of the Window, you’ll
see the command prompt’s mode, along with the privileges of the current session.
Footer menu bar
End
Includes actions to stop the shell or the
execution of commands:
● Restart Shell – Terminates the actual shell process and starts another.
●CTRL + Break – Stops a process from executing inside the shell, without terminating
the shell itself.
● Clear Output – Clears the current output of the shell.
● Standard Command Prompt – Uses the Windows Command Processor (cmd.exe)
●WindowsPowershell– Uses the Windows Powershell, if available. BASE is compatible
with any version of Powershell.
Shell Type
Defines the type of shell to be executed.
Changing from one type to the other will
terminate the first one. It is not possible
to have the two types of shell open at the
same time and alternate between them.
Run
Allows the execution of a script loaded
from the technician’s computer. It is
compatible with any Windows Scripting
Host languages.
Navigating through the command box
You can access the command history in the command box through the following keys:
● Ctrl+Home – Presents the first command inserted
● Ctrl+End – Presents the last command inserted
● Ctrl+Up – Previous command history
● Ctrl+Down – Next command in history
Check our video tutorial about the System Shell.

PORT FORWARDING
BeAnywhere Agents can be configured to act as a gateway between local applications
and services on the remote LAN that normally are not accessible from an outside
network, being able to provide almost the same level of functionality as a Virtual
Private Network. Use BeAnywhere to create temporary or permanent port forwards
to the remote network and enjoy increased performance, security and simplicity
in connecting to remote services. This feature is setup per remote machine for
security reasons, and the permanent forwards are saved on the configuration of
each console, which means that they will have to be recreated if the technician uses
another console.
To use this feature, follow these steps:
Configuring BeAnywhere Agent
1. Open the BeAnywhere Agent configuration window on the remote machine: right
click on the corresponding icon on the system tray and choose Restore from the
context menu.
2. If the local remote user is not running with Administrator permissions (Windows
Vista, 7…), click on Manage. A dialog will open, warning the user that the configuration
program will have to be restarted with elevated privileges. Click Yes. A Windows UAC
prompt will be shown, and if the process is completed correctly, the program will restart.
3. Click on Settings.
4. On the new window, select Enable TCP port forwarding.
5. If you want to enable automatic port forwarding of the Windows Remote Desktop
Protocol to that same machine, select also Enable RDP Tunneling.This option
only affects the usability of the Use RDP button in the console, which automatically
launches the Windows RDP client pointed to the remote machine in session. You can
establish an RDP tunnel to that machine or to any other computer in the network by
manually setting up the relevant ports.
The option Use TCP port for incoming connections allows the use of a specific
port to enable the TCP native peer-to-peer mode, which provides optimal speeds
in LAN (FTP transfers can be up to 20 times faster), also ensuring more reliable
connections in some problematic WAN scenarios. In order to use TCP P2P feature in
sessions outside the LAN, you have to configure a port forwarding from the network
gateway to each Agent using this mode.
Configuring BeAnywhere Console
1. During a session, click on the option Advanced>Port Forward, located on the
footer menu.

2. Now, to create a new Port Forwarding, click New.
5. BASE also allows you to setup a specific app to be associated with a specific
port forward. While any application can use the forwards configured using this
feature, this allows you to invoke pre-configured programs from the console.
To add an application, click on the folder icon, immediately at the right of the
Run Application option.
6. If you want to pass parameters to the application (e.g. the remote address),
fill the Application Parameters.
7. Use the Description field to enter a description about the port forward.
This is especially useful if you want permanent forwards.
How to configure an FTP connection
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers need several ports to communicate with clients. In
order to setup an FTP connection using the BASE Port Forwarding feature, you need
to know what ports the server is using, both for control and for data connections. You
also will have to make sure that your FTP client is running on Passive Mode. Then, you
can set each port manually on the BASE console, or you can just use a port-range.
For example, if an FTP server uses port 21 for control and then 5000 to 5010 for data
connections, you will have to add two forwards: one for port 21 (any port on the local
computer and port 21 on the remote machine) and another one for the ports used on
data connections. On the specific case of the FTP, you have to use as local the same
ones that are configured on the remote host. So, for this example, you would use
5000- 5010 as the local port range, and then 5000 as the remote port.
3. In the new window, there are three mandatory parameters:
a. Local Port – Refers to the local port number on which BeAnywhere console
will listen for incoming TCP connections that will then be forwarded to the remote
network. The local port is, as the name implies, the port belonging to the machine
where the console is running. In order to avoid conflicts, you can use 0 and a free port
will be assigned automatically. You can also insert a port range, using the following
syntax: startport-endport (i.e. 5000-5100). This is especially useful for services like
FTP (see How to configure an FTP connection below). If you use a port range, please
be sure to check if that range is free on the local machine.
b. Remote Host – The DNS or IP address where the remote service is. If the service
is on the machine hosting the BeAnywhere sessions, please use “localhost” or “127.0.0.1”.
c. Remote Port – This is the port where the remote service is listening for
connections. BASE needs both the remote host and the remote port values in order
to know where to route the local traffic. You cannot use a range on this field: if you
insert a port range in the Local Port, that range will be forwarded to the remote
computer starting from the port defined here (i.e. Local port range is 5000-5100; if
you had setup port 1000 as the remote port, BASE will forward the local traffic to
1000-1099 on the remote computer).
4. If you don’t need anything else, assure that the Enabled box is checked and
click OK. Not having the Enable box checked will save the port forward but you
will need to activate it before use.
Check our video tutorial about Port Forwarding.

Providing Assistance to Your Costumer
FILE TRANSFER
The File Transfer feature enables the technician to exchange files and folders with the
client. There are no restrictions to the type or size of the files transferred.
This feature is selected by clicking on the File Transfer tab, on the Viewer window. To
start a transfer, just drag and drop files or entire folders from one side to the other.
The transfer will be registered on the session report and also on the chat window of
the applet, for accountability purposes.
The file transfer queue below will transfer each file at a time and it will show you a
progression bar. You can change the priority of each file transfer by changing a file’s
position in the file transfer queue.
Additionally you can pause and cancel each transfer.
It is also possible to delete and rename files using the following icons:
Check our video tutorial about the File Transfer.

SYSTEM INFO
The System Info tab provides a wide variety of information about the assisted
remote computer. The technician is able to easily consult parameters related to
hardware, drivers, windows services, software, system temperatures, windows
update policies, etc.
All the information can be exported to a CSV file. To do so, please use the button on
the upper-right area of the Window . The export will only refer to the category
selected. In order to export all the information of all the categories, you have to
export each one to a different file.
In the Processes category, it is possible to see graphics with the CPU and memory
consumptions. The tech just needs to enable the regular update of the information,
using the context menu.
Also, in sessions made using a BASE Agent or an elevated Applet, techs can view the
ownership of processes and terminate them.
In the same sense, it is also possible to start, stop, restart and change the startup
type of services during the sessions with administrative privileges.
Check our video tutorial about the System Info.

Unattended support
Chapter VII
Unattended Support

T o initiate unattended support sessions, the technician needs to add
the client’s computer to his list of computers. There are two ways
of completing this process: A) - during a support session; or B) - by clicking
Generate Link.
A) During a support session
Click on the footer menu of the Viewer and select Computer>Add PC to My
Computers list.
By selecting this option, the tech will be asked to provide a name for the computer,
and the installation will start silently. The computer will come online in the technician
console as soon as the installation is completed.
B) By clicking Generate Link
In the console’s home page, select the My Computers tab.
Next, on the bottom left, the Add Computer button will appear. Click on this button
to add a new computer to the My Computers list.
In the right pane, a new form will appear for the technician to insert the new
computer details.
Besides the link expiration date and the number of installations allowed by a given
link/PIN, you can also set an expiration date for the agent. Reaching that date, the
Agent will be uninstalled and deleted from your computer list. This is very useful to
setup temporary unattended access to a machine.
By clicking Generate Link, two options will be made available: a computer PIN code
and an Install Link. Both methods work exactly as the applet: the client just needs to
go to the Portal and use the PIN code or simply follow the direct link to download the
agent installer.
The installation needs administrative privileges, and it is recommended that only one
user is logged onto the remote computer.
It is also fairly easy to setup the automatic deployment of multiple Agents in a
network. The Agent installer can run unattended and silently by using the /S /R
switches (“BAManagement.exe /S /R”). This way, an installer can be deployed using
a Logon Script or Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager.
Unattended Support

As soon as the new computer is listed on the console, technicians will be able to
select it on the My Computers tab. After selecting a computer, an editable form
will appear at the right pane.
These details are also available on the Admin Area.
Right-clicking on a computer in the list will also provide several options (which
can be equally invoked in the Admin Area): Create a new group, delete, rename,
or move the computer to another group, refresh the list of computers; and also
restart the remote Agent, or create a new ticket for the Agent (to learn more about
this option, please check the Tickets).
Unattended Support
- A remote session is taking place;
- Agent is disabled or unable to connect to the BeAnywhere infrastructure;
- Agent is running normally.
After the BASE Agent’s installation, a new icon will appear in the System Tray of the
remote computer. This icon has three states:
IMPORTANT:
To perform a silent deployment, be sure to enable the relevant Profile>Agent
Setup options in the Admin Area. For more information, please check the Admin
Area chapter.

Master Password
Chapter VIII
Enhancing
the Agent’s Security

T o increase the global security of the BASE infrastructure, a Master
Password can be set on every computer where a BeAnywhere Agent
is installed. This feature greatly diminishes security breaches related with
misconfigurations or with the leak of BeAnywhere credentials. Setting up a master
password is especially recommended on machines that perform key roles on their
respective networks (e.g. domain controllers, database serers, web or mail servers)
or machines with sensitive information. This feature can be used in conjuction
with locking Windows at the end of each BASE session, as well as with the option
Require local user authorization on starting a session, which will require the
explicit permission of a user logged on locally before starting any session.
Enhacing the Agent’s Security
Adding a master password to a BeAnywhere Agent
Each master password has to be set individually on each machine. In order to do it,
the following procedures must be completed:
1. Open the BeAnywhere Agent configuration window on the remote machine: right
click on the corresponding icon on the system tray - - and choose Restore from
the context menu.
2. If the local remote user is not running with Administrator permissions (Windows
Vista, Windows 7, etc.), click on Manage. A dialog will open, warning the user
that the configuration program will have to be restarted with elevated privileges.
Click Yes. A Windows UAC prompt will be showed, and if the process is completed
correctly, the program will restart.
4. On the new window, you will be able to choose the authentication type for that
specific computer:
3. Click on Security.
a. None – The feature will be disabled and by default the machine will be accessible
by all the technicians that can access unattended computers. Please note that, by
default, BeAnywhere locks Windows at the end of each session, which by itself is
another layer of security.
b. BeAnywhere Password – You can choose a password with at least 8 characters,
including letters, numbers and symbols.
c. Windows Account – This option uses Windows authentication, allowing
the session to be authorized on the basis of a valid local or domain-based Windows
account. For security reasons, only accounts which already have a profile created on
the local machine will be correctly authenticated.

● Allow restricted accounts to login to this server – if this option is unchecked,
only local or domain administrators can login to the computer through BeAnywhere.
5. You may also select the option Require local user authentication on starting
a session.
Click Apply. The settings will be used on the next session.
IMPORTANT:
Requiring local authorization disables the possibility of unattended setup. Please
use this setting carefully or you may lose access to a computer.

Sharing and
Transferring Sessions

Session Transfer
T here are three ways to transfer sessions between different technicians
and/or departments: (A) - prior to the creation of a new PIN Code;
(B) - before accepting a support request; and (C) - during a support session.
A – Prior to the creation of a new PIN Code
While creating the new session or the calling card in the Console window, the
technician should click on Show Advanced Options. He can then change the
queue of the request by clicking on the Change... button.
B – Before accepting a support request
Incoming support requests can also be redirected to any specific technician/
department. The Pending Request tab (top left) shows a list of sessions that, at
that moment, are waiting to be accepted. Clicking on any of those will present the
request details in the right pane, along with the options to accept, transfer or
cancel the request.
C – During a Support Session
Sometimes it might be necessary to transfer the session to another tech after it
has already started. The technician currently handling the session just has to click
on Session>Transfer / Share in the footer menu of the Viewer and select the
appropriate queue.
Sharing and Transferring Sessions
SHARE AND TRANSFER A SESSION
A new window will appear, where a department or a tech can be specified, followed
by clicking on the OK button.
Requests created this way will be sent to a specific queue.
The TRANSFER REQUEST TO... will forward it to the technician or department you
specify. You can also add a note in the process - e.g. explaining the context of the
request or the transfer reason.
Like in the previous scenario, it is possible to add some notes.

Chapter 10Chapter X
Calling Cards

A Calling card is a special version of the applet that can be dropped
on a client’s computer and, therefore, used every time he needs
remote assistance. Calling Cards have a reference ID, composed by an
alphanumeric prefix and 13 algorisms - this ID is used for downloading this
special applet. The Calling Cards can be set with an expiration date and a
maximum session time, allowing a great deal of flexibility for providers to
launch special promotions or different support products. BASE allows the
creation of single Calling Cards - through the console - but also batches can
be generated. The management of all the Calling Cards is also made through
the Admin Area.
PRE-CONFIGURING THE ADMIN AREA
Before using the Calling Card feature you should choose the prefix that will be used
on all of them.
1. The prefix configuration is central. This option is presented to you on the Startup
Wizard. If you missed the wizard, or if you want to change your calling card prefix,
go to Profile>Identification>4. Calling Cards.
2. There, you can choose a calling card, composed by 4 to 8 digits (letters A-Z or
numbers 0-9, case insensitive).
4. Clicking on the Save icon will save all of the information in Profile>Identification,
not only the settings configured on the calling cards tab.
5. You may also want to set the scenarios in which a defined URL is automatically
opened:
a. Before the beginning of the session
i. When the Calling Card’s date has expired
ii. When the Calling Card has no time left
b. After the session is started
3. If the prefix you inserted meets the definitions described before, a green checkmark
will appear and the format of your calling cards will be previewed below.
You can find the scenarios in Management>Warnings>4. Calling Cards. None of
these options is mandatory. If no information is inserted, an error message will be
presented to your user when trying to establish a connection or during a calling card
session – in these scenarios, no webpage will be presented to your client.

Generate Calling Card.
Calling Cards
2. If you do not want to set up any advanced options, click on Generate Calling
Card. Otherwise, click on Show Advanced Options (at the right).
3. Besides the optional information that can be added to a calling card (client name,
number, description, etc.), you may set the departments or technicians that receive
requests, along with the expiration options.
a. To set who will receive the requests generated by a calling card, click the
Change button on Selected Queue. A new window will appear, in which you can
choose a specific department or technician.
b. To set expiration options, click the Change button on Expiration. You can
define the session time included, choosing from unlimited support time to a certain
number of minutes, hours or days. The expiration date defines the validity of the
Calling Card. It can go from never expiring to expiring on a certain day, thus not
being usable beyond that date. These two options - Support Time and Expiration
Date – are independent, meaning that you can set up both options, only one
option, or none of the options.
4. After the advanced options configuration, click on Generate Calling Card.

Calling Cards
CREATING A BATCH OF CALLING CARDS IN THE ADMIN AREA
1. On the admin area, click on Management>Calling Cards.
2. On the first tab, click on Create New, which will direct you to the third

5. If you want to limit the departments who will receive the requests, click on the
respective checkbox and select a department from the dropdown list.
6. In order to limit the technicians who will receive the requests, click on the respective
checkbox and select a tech from the dropdown list.
7. For limiting the session time included, select Duration and define a certain
number of minutes, hours or days. To manage the duration, use the two advanced
options: Count in blocks of... and Minimum Period.
- In the Count in blocks of… option, it is possible to specify a minimum initial
period that will be deducted from the available time of the calling card whenever a
new session starts (e.g. each new session will deduct at least five minutes from the
available time on the calling cards).
- The Minimum Period option will round the time counted in each session to the
nearest superior block (e.g. the session time will deduct 15 minutes from the available
time on the calling card even it only lasted 11 minutes).
8. To determine the expiration date, select Expiration Date and click on a desired
date. A new window with a calendar will appear, allowing you to select a specific day.
9. Then, you need to make sure that the checkbox Apply to New Codes is selected,
otherwise the new codes will not be created.
10. If you click on Customize URL warnings, you can also designate if a URL is to
be open on the following scenarios:
None of these options is mandatory, and if no information is inserted, the system will
look for a default configuration, which can be defined on Warnings>Calling Cards.
If no information is defined there, an error message will be presented to your user
when trying to establish a connection or during a calling card session – in these
scenarios, no webpage will be presented to your client.

11. Click on Generate or on the Save icon. The second tab (2. Active Cards) will

Chapter XI
Using BASE Proxy

B eAnywhere’s Support Express Proxy can be used in situations where
the remote machine has no connection to the Internet or when it
connects to the Internet using an unsupported type of proxy or authentication.
It must be installed on the remote LAN, in a computer not only reachable by
the BASE Agents and Applets, but also with free access to the Internet (e.g.
a machine on the DMZ or even the firewall machine). It can be configured to
restrict which BASE Agents or Applets are able to use it, and it can also bind
to multiple network adaptors. It is completely transparent and supports every
feature on the BeAnywhere protocol (including Port Forwarding). It also has
a very flexible configuration, being able to run as an application, with limited
privileges, but also as a Windows Service.
Using BASE Proxy
BASE Proxy supports two types of connections (fig. 1):
Standard
All the inbound connections are initiated through BASE gateways. This is the failsafe
mode of operation, and it is compatible with all the configurations and topologies.
Direct Connect
The BASE gateways are only used in the context of establishing remote sessions
during the initiation process. After that, the connection between the BASE Proxy and
the BASE Consoles is made directly. This mode is faster because it uses one less hop,
diminishing the latency, but it is less compatible with more restricted configurations.
Figure 1 - BASE Proxy - Standard Connection Method
Figure 1.1 - BASE Proxy - Direct Connect Method

INSTALLING BASE PROXY
In order to install BASE Proxy, you will have to perform the following steps:
I. Set up the computer in which the proxy is installed
The following ports must be opened in the Proxy machine, for both inbound and
outbound connections:
TCP 8082 (only for LAN traffic) - Port used for BASE Agents/Applets to
communicate with the proxy. This is the port defined on the Bindings tab of the
proxy interface, so if you change it, you will have to configure your firewall accordingly.
TCP 443 (for LAN and WAN traffic) - This is the port used by the Direct Connect
feature, so it only needs to be set if Direct Connect is to be enabled. You will also
need to route this port from the WAN to the proxy machine. If you change the Direct
Connect port on the proxy interface, this configuration has to be updated accordingly.
UDP 43210 (only for LAN traffic) - This port is used on the automatic setup of
the Agents and Applets. If it is not reachable, additional set ups will be required on
each computer with the BASE Agent installed or running the Applet.
II. Download and install the proxy
1. On the Admin Area, go to Profile>Integration>5. Proxy and hit the Download
button, under Step 1 - Installing a new BASE Proxy server. A new window will appear,
explaining the basic requirements to install the proxy. Click OK.
2. The download of the installer will begin.
3. At the end of the installation, you’ll have to name your new proxy and preferably
add a description. After performing this step, click on Register.
4.The proxy will return a message confirming its registration on the
BeAnywhere network.
Using BASE Proxy
The installation is very straightforward; the only customizable option is whether
or not to create the Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts (the default option is
recommended).

III. Configure the Proxy interface
After installing BASE Proxy and running it for the first time, you will have several
configuration options available:
● Home - It allows starting and stopping the proxy functionality, as well as checking
if the proxy is running. It uses a traffic light system to identify its state: red (stopped),
yellow (error or busy), green (working).
● Bindings - While on this tab, you can specify which IP addresses and ports from
the machine running the proxy will be used to receive connections from BASE Agents
within the LAN. By default, the IP will be 0.0.0.0, which basically means all the
Network Interface Cards with any IP address. If you have more than one NIC, it is
recommended you specify which adaptor or IP address is to be used in order to
receive the requests exclusively within the LAN, for security reasons. The default
port is 8082. Please check if any other services are using it on the proxy machine.
● Direct Connect - Enables the Direct Connect feature through the activation of
the corresponding checkbox. You can also change the default port. However, this
procedure isn’t recommended because it will diminish the possibilities of successfully
establishing a connection through this method. If you need to do it, please click on
the Test button to verify if the port is reachable, and then click Save.
● IP Filter - Here you can choose which BASE Agents/Applets are reachable through
this proxy. You can add a mixture of single IP addresses (only the BASE Agents
or Applets on those specific IP will be reachable) and IP address ranges (all the
BASE Agents or Applets running on machines within that IP address range will be
reachable). This can be used as an extra security measure.
● Log - This tab presents all the events related to the use of the proxy, like connected
machines, sessions established or IP changes. You can suspend or clear the log.
Both these options are cosmetic: the proxy continues to register activity and
debug information, which can be found at %16419%BeAnywhereBASupProxy for
Windows 2000 and XP, and at c:programdata for Windows Vista or later OS.
Using BASE Proxy

● Service - By default, BASE Proxy is installed as an application. Here you will be able
to install it as a Windows service. You can also uninstall the service later, using this
tab, and the Proxy will then run again as an application.
IV. View installed proxies
1. All the registered proxies from a given Helpdesk Center are listed on
Profile>Integration>5. Proxy, under Step 2 - Manage your BASE Proxy server
installations.
2. On the left, you can check all the proxies installed. Clicking any one of them will
present all the relevant information kept by the system.
3. Besides the name and description, you can also check its external port, the installed
version, when the proxy was last seen and also the associated IP addresses.
4. To delete a proxy, just click on Remove . Please note that this action will permanently
disable the proxy’s communication with BASE network. You will have to uninstall it
manually on the corresponding machine, and it cannot be reactivated.
Using BASE Proxy

SETTING THE BASE AGENT OR THE APPLET
Both the BASE Agents and the BASE Applet are automatically configured, and no
manual setup is required in most situations. However, in the event that connectivity
problems or incorrect configuration of the proxy machine impairs the automatic
setup, some configuration might be required:
1. Run the applet or start BASE Agent configuration program on a computer with a
limited or nonexistent connection to the Internet.
2. After a while, a message will appear, asking if the computer is behind a proxy
server. Click YES.
3. The next message will ask if there is a dedicated BA Proxy server. Click YES.
4. Select Use BeAnywhere Proxy server.
5. Insert the Proxy IP address (recommended) or the name of the server; and the
relevant port.
6. If the proxy is using Direct Connect, select the corresponding checkbox and
insert the port number for this feature. Please note that the computer will be able
to establish sessions even if Direct Connect fails or is misconfigured.
7. Click Test my proxy settings to verify if the connection to the proxy is
correctly established.
8. Click Apply.

Chapter XII
Administrative Area

Administrative Area
B eAnywhere’s Support Express Administrative Area allows administrators
to set up their company’s profile and manage their BASE account. You can
follow the http://base.beanywhere.com URL to access the Admin Area or go
directly from the menu at the top of the console window.
WIZARD
In the first visit to the Administrative Area, you will be welcomed by a Wizard window.
It is intended to help the Administrator in the process of setting up a few of the
account’s basic aspects.
It is, however, always at your disposal; it can be triggered through the link placed on
the right side of the Admin Area homepage – Startup Wizard.
The Wizard helps to set up your Profile (basic settings regarding the identification
of the administrator and the represented company); the Applet and the Agent main
startup options; the Exclusive Link (definition of the link from which a client may send
a support request); your Website (integration options) and Calling Cards (establish
a Calling Card prefix).

Administrative Area
HOMEPAGE
The Landing Page offers a wide variety of significant and graphical information. The
top bar displays the data of the active account: namely the expiration date of your
account, the number of computers on your list (online and offline) and a full list of all
your technicians (online and offline).
The graphic presented in the central area displays the daily basis evolution of the
support sessions on that given period.This criteria, however, can be changed through
the Select Statistic dropdown list – here you can choose from Daily sessions, Time
in session, Operating Systems, Operating Systems – Pie, Sessions per schedule,
Sessions schedule - Pie.
At the right, you can focus a specific period of time, establishing the starting and
ending dates. Click Go to generate a new graphic.
On the right, the Insert Activation Code option allows, naturally, the introduction of
any Activation Code at your disposal: this Code will produce an immediate update
of the account, if and when necessary. You can still access the Wizard through the
relevant option.
Obeying the same logic and search criteria, you can also generate graphical
information about Clients (sessions made, time in session, geographical distribution)
and Technicians (number of sessions and time in session). Simply choose any of the
tabs placed on top of the graphical window: Sessions, Clients, Technicians.
In the Homepage, you’ll also notice the options column placed on the left. Each tab
and respective options will be explained in the following pages.
IMPORTANT:
Clicking the COMPUTERS text in the top bar will download an Agent installer
with the default settings (unlimited installs, default name, no group, etc.). Also,
clicking the TECHNICIANS text will open the page to create a new technician.
!

Administrative Area
PANIC BUTTON
At the top right side of your Admin Area homepage you’ll easily notice a Panic button
standing out. This is yet another exclusive power feature of BeAnywhere Support
Express. Using the Panic button will not only unlock all of the service features, but
will also allow unlimited simultaneous technicians (during the subsequent 10 straight
hours after any hit).
This feature is intended to help you deal with emergency scenarios (e.g. a virus
outbreak), circumstances that demand much more from your support solution. If
you can’t access this feature, please contact your account manager. To use your
Panic button, simply click on it. You will then be asked to confirm your intention.
Afterwards, you will immediately receive an e-mail confirming your Panic Button
hit, as well as the beginning and the end of the respective 10 hour period. Once this
10 hour period reaches its end, your normal license standards will be automatically
replaced.
To further enjoy BeAnywhere’s premium services, please consider updating your
license or getting more hits for your Panic Button.

Administrative Area
PROFILE
The Profile section displays several configuration options associated to the
company’s profile.
Identification
Here you’ll find a vast array of configuration options.
1. Basic Information
Definition of the company’s biographical details: name, e-mail, address,
telephone number, VAT, Country and Region.
2. Company Logo
Insert the Company Logo.
To start uploading the Logo, simply click on Upload Logo. Be sure to respect the size
and extension restrictions – JPEG, max size: 200KB, 578 X 98 pixels).
3. PIN/Calling Cards
The first area of this window – PIN Code Options – enables the technician to set the
expiration date of both the generated PIN Codes, but also the Applets. Just use the
dropdown boxes to choose the desired expiration date.
A pre-visualization of your Calling Card format will be immediately available. For
more information, please check the Calling Cards chapter.
4. Administrator
Use the text entry field available, stating your new password - whenever you decide
to change it. Your username will be displayed at all times.
In the second area, you can choose a prefix to add to your Calling Cards. Please use
the Your Calling Card Prefix text entry field to compose the desired prefix – it must
be composed by 4 to 8 digits (letters A-Z or numbers 0-9, case insensitive).
The waiting time is rounded down to minutes, and it is obtained by dividing the
number of pending support requests by the number of online techs, multiplied by
the average duration of a session (which has to be set by the administrator).
Here it is also possible to enable and configure the Expected Wait Time
Information feature: This will activate the presentation of a webpage while
the Applet is being downloaded, informing the client about how many other
support requests are on the queue and what is the waiting time expected for
a request to be accepted.
Expected Wait Time only works with PIN codes under the general page of the
support portal, or using a Direct Link.

5. Access Control
Limit access to the Console and/or the Administrative Area. To establish access
restrictions, simply select the Limit the Access to Admin Area by IP option and/
or Limit the access to Tech Console by IP.
Secondly, insert in the available text entry fields which of the IPs will benefit from
access to each of the functional areas of BASE.
After the setup is complete, the SAVE button, placed at the lower right corner, will
validate and save all changes.

Administrative Area
E-mail templates
On this area, you can setup the e-mails sent to costumers when facing different
scenarios. Every e-mail supports a certain number of tags for further customization.
1. Install Link
Template used when sending an Installation link. Composing the desired message is
processed very much like any regular e-mail: Title and Body Text. The installation link
will be automatically added to the content. Before sending the e-mail, the technician
will always enjoy the possibility to edit and confirm the data.
2. Support Link
Template used when sending a Support link. Composing the desired message is
processed much like any regular e-mail: Title and Body Text. The Support Link will be
automatically added. Before sending the e-mail, the technician will always enjoy the
possibility to edit and confirm the data.
3. Session Report
Template used when sending a Session Report. The filling of the desired message is
processed very much like any regular e-mail: Title and Body Text. The Link, through
which the client can access the report, will be, subsequently, automatically added.
Before sending, the technician will always enjoy the possibility to edit and confirm
the data.
Furthermore, you will be able to set the report as mandatory or as optional. When
Optional is active, it’s up for the technician to decide whether to send reports, or
not, after each session; the Mandatory option enables the automatic dispatch of
the reports.
The technician may have to input a valid e-mail address at the end of the session. It’s
also possible to incorporate a link to a video session recording (if due).
After the setup is completed, the SAVE button, placed at the lower right corner, will
validate and save all changes.

Administrative AreaAdministrative Area
Applet Setup
Configuration of the Applet’s appearance and behavior (Windows Applet only).
1. Name/ Logo
In this first section you’ll be able to edit the filename used by the applets you generate.
Furthermore, you can Add department name to filename and/or Delete applet
after session ends, by activating each option.
At the Logo section, the Upload Logo button initiates the transfer process of the
image you wish to present your clients as your company Logo – simply upload it, as
long as it respects the requirements (JPEG, 200KB, 578x98 pixels). The image will be
presented in the preview box laid out at the center of the screen.
By clicking directly on top of this preview, you’ll be able to change its background
color: simply choose one of the colors available in the spectrum and click the
Save Button.
2. Terms of service
In this window you will be able to set your own Terms of Service. Use the text box
in the middle to insert your own or just upload a pre-configured text using the
Load Default button.
3. Initial Form
When sending a support request, the client will be asked to fill out an Initial Form. The
included fields can be configured as mandatory to the form submission by selecting
them on this screen. It is even possible to add a custom field; to make it mandatory;
and to present a specific error message if it is left blank - all of these options can
then be used together with the Session Validation API to efficiently distribute support
requests among the appropriated queues. Some other options may be defined:
The two options at the top of the window will help you set up the behavior of
the applet, enabling the terms to be visible when the applet starts and/or to be
automatically accepted after a certain number of seconds without input from the
client (keystrokes or mouse-clicks).
● The Enable option lets you activate or deactivate this Initial Form;
● The Submit Timeout entry field allows you to set the time, in seconds, during
which the Initial Form is presented on the client’s screen;
● The Reset Timer on keypress will, when clicked, allow the client to enter his
data without worrying about the time limit. The clock will reset after each and
every keystroke.

Administrative Area
4. Messages 1 of 4
The next four tabs allow the customization of the messages presented to the client on
the Applet. The first one occurs when the applet is sending the support request.
These messages are sent to your e-mail address (defined in the company profile)
and are also available at Reports>Missed Sessions.
5. Messages 2 of 4
The second message is presented when the support request has been
successfully sent.
7. Messages 4 of 4
Define the message presented to your client when the technician takes too long to
reply to a chat message. Simply use the available text entry field. In this case, you also
have the possibility to determine the waiting time limit – simply change the value in
the Timeout text entry field. The message you have defined will appear in the client’s
chat box whenever this time limit runs out.
8. Settings
The last tab allows the customization of the default behavior of the Applet: it is
possible to remove the remote desktop background automatically (recommended)
while on session, and it is also possible to configure the Applet to always request
administration privileges in Operating Systems with User Account Control enabled.
6. Messages 3 of 4
In this tab, it is possible to set what message is displayed when no technician
answers the support request. First of all, determine the waiting time limit – simply
change the value manually in the Timeout text entry field. It’s also possible to
allow clients to leave a message – select the Let clients leave a message option
and determine how to introduce this possibility to the client.

Administrative Area
Agent Setup
This area allows the configuration of the default options for the Agents. These
options are only valid to new installations, which means they are not enforced (a
user with local administration privileges can change them later on each agent) nor
applicable to Agents previously installed.
On the first tab, it is possible to select if a new Agent will use the computer name,
and also if the installation will be silent (without any intervention from a local
user). Besides the name and registration, new Agents can be configured to enable
the default settings and give the local user the option to override them (or disable
this possibility).
1. Settings
This tab contains most of the configurations available on the Agent (clicking on
the SETTINGS button of the Graphic User Interface). It includes graphics and
performance optimization settings, as well as connectivity features discussed
throughout this manual.
2. Security
All the items under Security can also be set on the Agent. These settings
increase the sessions’ security performed through the BASE Agent. It is very
important to understand and set these options because a bad configuration on
this tab can render an Agent inaccessible.
● Remote sessions require local user authorization – All the sessions made
to the Agent have to be authorized by a local user. Enabling this will effectively
disallow unattended access to the computer. Use with care.
● Lock Windows when the remote session ends – Protects the local Windows
session against unauthorized use after a remote access.
● Require authentication through Windows credentials – A second layer of
security is added to the Agent, which will only accept connections if the credentials
are locally validated (either on the local computer or in the domain). For security
reasons, only credentials from users with a created profile on the remote computer
will be accepted.
● Allow restricted user accounts to login – Using this option, the access to the
remote Agent can be restricted to privileged Windows accounts only, or to any
Windows account with a profile on the remote computer.
IMPORTANT:
For security reasons, the BeAnywhere Password setting cannot be defined by default
on the Admin Area. If you want to use this setting, please set a password locally.

Integration
BASE’s advanced integration forms.
1. Your web site
You can integrate a Support request button into any of your websites. Simply copy
the code presented at the center of the screen and paste it on the code of your own
web pages. The button presented in this window is merely an example.
2. Start APIs
I. New session API
This API (Application Programing Interface) allows new sessions to be generated
without having to use the console – for example, it is possible to generate sessions
from your CRM software. The Download button will grant you access to the user
manual of the API.
II. Landing Page API
Easily place an API on your own website, enabling your clients to directly insert a
PIN Code or use a Calling Card built into your website. The parameters shown in
this window are mandatory on the form, which means that they need to be inserted
exactly as presented, in order to be fully functional. The Wizard presented on the
bottom lets you generate an example of how these parameters should look.
Simply choose the desired language from the dropdown list (English or
Portuguese); do the same with the desired feature (PIN Code or Calling Card).
To modify the aesthetics of the button you wish to place on your website, simply
uncomment the colored code and use your own URL.
Finally, click Generate.
3. Other APIs
I. New Support Ticket API
Download the manual describing how to use this feature to create deferred
support tickets directly from any application. Using this API, no custom questions
or attachments can be added on the ticket creation (files could be added at a later
time, editing the ticket).
II. Validation API
A checkbox to activate the Use Validation API option. By default, this option is
not checked, thus being inactive. This API’s objective is to pre-process the client’s
data gathered by the BeAnywhere Support Express Applet before the creation of a
support request.
4. Exclusive Link
Definition of the exclusive link, from which your clients will be able to send a request
for support. To establish the desired domain, choose one of the available options
offered by the dropdown box at the left. To establish the desired suffix of the link, use
the text entry field, placed at the left, freely.
Directly beneath, you can preview the Exclusive Link (used by the clients to send a
support request) and the Applet direct download link (used by the clients to initiate
the download of the Applet).
Administrative Area

6. Webchat
The Web Chat allows the establishment of a chat conversation between a client and
a specific technician, even before the actual remote session kicks in (please see Chat
chapter for more information).
On this tab, it is possible to customize the look and feel of the chat Window (any
change will be revised by the BeAnywhere team before being applied), as well as to
get links to chat with each technician.
7. Notifications
Choose which events will trigger e-mail notifications for your Helpdesk Center and
customize recipients for each message. There are four possible events, and each
one can notify a different e-mail recipient: New session request, survey answered
(regardless of the type of survey), missed session request with message and warning is
a request is waiting more than the defined threshold.
IMPORTANT:
Use e-mail filtering rules to forward these messages to different technicians, based
on certain conditions (e.g. client number, computer name, request queue).

Managing technicians and departments.
Technicians
The Create New button lets you initiate the simple process of creating a new
technician. On the left side, the Search entry field allows you to search for the desired
technician (typing, for example, his name). The Department dropdown list narrows
the search to a specific department.
Identification
Select a name, the username (an e-mail address) and the password of the new technician.
It is also possible to upload a picture (which will appear on the Applet - otherwise
the default picture will be used) and to set an expiration date - useful to create
temporary technicians (e.g. third party contractors).
Permissions
The first thing on this tab is the option Reset Settings to, allowing the establishment
of a profile to new or existing users, combining all the features that can be set in this
page. There are three default profiles: Junior Tech (limited remote access through
Applets), Senior Tech (most of the options, excepting administration features) and
Admin (full features). Clicking the Help button will show a table with the detailed
configurations for each one.
This feature is helpful when setting up new technicians, or if a quick downgrade
or upgrade to a tech account is needed. The profiles were chosen with the most
common options selected but they are meant to be used just as guidelines.
The following option is the ability to access the Admin Area, which can be further
customized using the option set custom access. This will allow the configuration of
several specific Admin Area sections to be inaccessible, read-only or fully accessible.
Clicking on Next continues the process.

When configuring the Access Session History you can disable the access to this
feature or, on the contrary, provide full access; also, you can set it to only show the
sessions belonging to this particular technician.
Simply uncheck the first option if you do not want to offer this particular technician
the possibility to disconnect others. Uncheck the second option if you do not want this
particular technician to be disconnected by others. To disconnect an online technician,
just select one technician from the list presented at the moment you try to log in.
The disconnected technician will lose all access to BASE features and will need to repeat his
login procedures in order to get back online (if there’s enough room for him, obviously).
Each technician can also have his or her access to unattended devices limited on
My Computer Management Permissions. It is possible not only to disable the
access to specific computers but also to customize the management permissions
associated with this feature.
The last option is to enable the access and the administration of BeAnywhere inSight
Lite. Please note that this setting only establishes whether a technician can use inSight
Lite - it does not activate this feature on the remote machines. For more information,
please refer to the inSight Lite chapter.
On Console Features, granular permissions for each technician can be defined,
restricting access to product features, in order to customize the workflows of the
Helpdesk Center. Click Set Details to access these options.
Technicians KickOut - One particular feature you can set at this point istheTechnicians
KickOut. If your account reaches the maximum number of simultaneous technicians
online, you’ll be given the opportunity to disconnect one of the online technicians,
thus finding room for another technician to log in.The permission to deactivate
others or the chance of being deactivated by others are determined through the Can
disconnect any other techs and the Can be disconnected options. By default,
both are checked.
Default Settings
Technician’s work default settings.
●The Receive Requests sent to option allows the definition of which support

add the relevant option to the link, when needed.
!

My Computers
This area shows the list of computers installed as a Windows Service. On the top
of the page there is a tree with all devices and their groups. It is possible to search
for any of these elements by using the top search box, or otherwise filter them
with the three options placed at the top. The last two of these options are related
with BeAnywhere inSight Lite Add-On (for more information, please refer to the
inSight Lite Edition chapter).
The computers listed on the table will have a different icon to highlight their online
state. The computers online will also have another icon on the right side of the
table, allowing the establishment of a remote control session directly from the
Admin Area, using the Java viewer. When establishing the session, the password
of the Admin Area user will be asked again, for security reasons.
Group Options
If a group is selected on the tree, three tabs will be made available below. General
allows global information of the group to be changed, as well as deleted.There is also
a SESSIONS button, which will take the Administrator to a filtered list of sessions,
containing only those made to computers inside the relevant group.
The Permissions tab will enable the management of access permissions. It is possible
to list all the technicians registered or to filter them by group.
These changes can be applied to the current group or be replicated to its
child groups.
Administrative Area
IMPORTANT:
If a group is deleted, the Administrator has the option to uninstall all the computers
on it or simply move them to a parent group.
!
The final option allows the user to choose whether the changes are to be applied to
all the computers in the group.
On the bottom of the table there is an export link, which will save the whole list of
devices to an excel spreadsheet, completed with all the relevant information (Group
Name, Domain Name, Agent Version, etc.).

Also on the Advanced tab, Administrators have the ability to perform a mass restart
of the remote Agents of the group (only the BeAnywhere Service is restarted, not
the computer itself), as well as a mass uninstallation of the Agents, effectively losing
access to the computers.
The Administrator can change the name and the description of the computer along
with additional client data. The server version and the last access are also presented
(they are also on the table).
On this area it can also be defined if a remote user can start a support request or use
the deferred support tickets. Regarding this last option, it can also be set if a history
tab (listing all the tickets on the machine) will be shown on the ticket creation page.
Computer Options
If a computer is selected on the table, several tabs will be made available below.
The first tab is General, in which the first option is to enable the monitoring of
the computer, effectively activating the inSight Lite module on it, and making all
the remaining tabs usable. We will discuss BeAnywhere inSight Lite on a separate
chapter, so let’s just focus on the other options of this tab.
Besides the restart and uninstall options, the SESSIONS button will present a list of
all the sessions made to the computer.
The Advanced tab defines if a local user on a computer pertaining to the group
can start a remote request (and if so, what is the queue for the request) and also if a
support ticket can be locally created. As always, these changes can be replicated to
all the computers in the group.

Calling Cards
A calling card is a special version of the applet that can be dropped on a client’s
computer and, therefore, used every time he needs remote assistance.
Calling Cards have a reference ID, composed by an alphanumeric prefix and 13 digits
– this ID is used for downloading this special applet.The Calling Cards can be set with
an expiration date and a maximum session time defined, allowing a great deal of
flexibility for providers to launch special promotions or different support products.
BASE allows the creation of single Calling Cards - through the console - but also
enables the creation of batches - using the Admin Area. The management of all the
Calling Cards is also made through the Admin Area.
Pre-Configuring the Admin Area
Before using the Calling Card feature, you should choose the prefix that will be used
on all the calling cards generated through your account.
1. The prefix configuration is central. This option is presented to you on the
Startup Wizard.
2. There you can choose a calling card, composed by 4 to 8 digits (letters A-Z or
numbers 0-9, case insensitive).
3. If the prefix you inserted meets the definitions described before, a green checkmark
will appear. The format of your calling cards will be previewed below.
4. Clicking on the Save icon will save all of the information in Profile>Identification,
5. You may also want to set if an URL is to be open on the following scenarios:
a.i. When the Calling Card’s date has expired
a.ii. When the Calling Card has no time left
b.i. When the Calling Card’s date has expired
b.ii. When the Calling Card has no time left
You can find these in Management>Warnings>5. Calling Cards. None of these
options is mandatory. If no information is inserted, an error message will be presented
to your user when trying to establish a connection or during the calling card session,
but no webpage will be presented to your client.
6. Clicking on the Save icon will save all of the information in Management>Warnings,
If you missed the wizard, or if you want to change your calling card prefix, go to
Profile>Identification>4. Calling Cards.

1. On the main window, select New Calling Card and click Start New Session.
2. If you do not want to set any advanced options, click on Generate Calling Card.
Otherwise, click on Show Advanced Options.
3. Besides the optional information that can be added to a calling card (client name,
number, description, etc.), you may set the departments or technicians that receive
requests, along with the expiration options.
a. To set who will receive the requests generated by a calling card, click the
Change button on Selected Queue. A new window will appear, in which you can
choose a specific department or technician.
b. To set expiration options, click the Change button on Expiration. You can
define the session time included, choosing from unlimited support time to a certain
number of minutes, hours or days. The expiration date defines the validity of the
Calling Card. It can go from never expiring to expiring on a certain day. These two
options - Support Time and Expiration Date – are independent, meaning that you
can setup both options, only one option, or none of the options.
4. After the configuration, click on Generate Calling Card.
Administrative Area

1. On the admin area, click on Management>Calling Cards.
2. On the first tab, click on Create New, which will direct you to the third tab (3.

5. If you want to limit the departments who will receive the requests, click on the
respective checkbox and select a department from the dropdown list.
6. In order to limit the technicians who will receive the requests, click on the respective
checkbox and select a tech from the dropdown list.
7. To limit the session time included, select Duration and define a certain number
of minutes, hours or days.
8. To determine the expiration date, select Expiration Date and click on the desired
date. A calendar will appear, allowing you to select a specific day.
9. Then be sure that the checkbox Apply New Codes is selected, otherwise the new
codes will not be created.
10. If you click on Customize URL warnings, you can also set if a URL is to be open
on the following scenarios:
a.i. When the Calling Card’s date has expired
a.ii. When the Calling Card has no time left
b.i. When the Calling Card’s date has expired
b.ii. When the Calling Card has no time left
None of these options is mandatory, and if no information is inserted, the system will
look for a default configuration, which can be defined on Warnings>Calling Cards.
If no information is defined there, an error message will be presented to your user
when trying to establish a connection or during a calling card session, butnowebpage
will be presented.
11. Click on Generate or on the Save icon . The second tab (2. Active Cards) will be

Tickets
Computers with BASE Agent installed, as well as requesting remote assistance, can
also generate a support ticket.
Note: All associated requests can be checked at Reports>Tickets.
1. Intro
In this tab you can define the introdutory text that will be used on the ticket creation
form - just use the text box at the center. Below you can also choose the desired
language.
2. User Content
You can add up to 10 customized questions that can be added to your ticket
creation form.
Use the New Question button not only to add any questions, but also to set
the type of answers. If you choose List of Choices, you will have to also setup
predefined answers.
Lastly, check the Active option and click Add to include a question in your ticket form.
3. Forwarding
New tickets can be automatically forwarded to a technician or a department (the
ticket will be invisible to others). This can be useful in a number of situations (e.g.:
a specific tech or a department handle the initial screening of new tickets, and then
forward them to the appropriate recipients). If no automatic forwarding is set up,
tickets created will be visible to all the technicians with the adequate permissions.
Any tech with access to a ticket can forward it later, which will render the ticket
invisible to all the other techs.
Administrative Area

4. Notifications
Support Express can email both the helpdesk center and the relevant end users
about ticket updates. End users will be notified at the email provided when the
ticket is created. It is possible to enable three types of notifications: when a ticket is
created, when a ticket is updated and when it has been closed.
Messages sent to the helpdesk center - internal notifications - contain more
information than the ones emailed to end users (adding, for example, the last note
added to the ticket). Also, there is a special type of internal notification which is
mandatory: when a Next Action schedule is defined, the helpdesk center will be
notified on the scheduled date.
Internal notifications will be sent to the e-mail of the technician which has the ticket
attributed. If the ticket has been forwarded to a department or it is not forwarded
to any tech or department, the notification will be emailed to the address set up
on this page.
Administrative Area
Check our video tutorial about Tickets.

Creating a Ticket
The client can access his BASE Agent through the system tray icon:
Click on Support Tickets.
In this first window the client will see the Ticket creation form. The text shown at the top
of the page is defined by the technician in the Admin Area, as well as any predefined
form questions (Management>Tickets – please see the respective chapter).
The client needs only to fill out the three text boxes with his name, e-mail and the
problem description (e-mail IS mandatory).
The Upload button enables the upload of attachments that will be associated with
the ticket (screenshots showing the error, for instance).
Finally, click Create Ticket to send the ticket.
If the computer has permissions, there will also be another tab - History - in which
the remote user can access all the tickets already created on that computer. Clicking
on any of them will show more information.
The client can check the related Info (Number, E-mail, Agent name, etc), check
the Custom Answers in the respective tab (if the creation ticket form includes any
questions) and the attached files (if any). More importantly, the problem description
can, at this point, be edited; an useful feature that enables the client to update his
problem description, possibly adding to his original ticket other pressing issues.
Click Save when done and the ticket information will be updated.

BeAnywhere inSight
Lite Edition

BeAnywhere inSight Lite Edition
INTRODUCTION
The BeAnywhere inSight Lite Edition is the new Simple Remote Management and
Monitoring (S-RMM) add-on featured on Support Express. Despite being purchased
as an independent module, it can only be used when associated with Business or
Corporate licenses.
Major Features:
Alert creation based on the agent’s OS;
Graphical information about the agent’s resources usage and status;
Detailed information about the agent’s hardware and software;
Audit reports based on all gathered information;
Software’s vulnerability alerts;
Massive and remote script’s deployment.
Every BASE Corporate license is entitled with 10 BA inSight Lite licenses, completely
free; BASE Busines clients will also enjoy 5 free BA InSight Lite licenses.
Pre-Requisites
BeAnywhere inSight Edition requires the 4.80 Agent or newer. There is no need
for local configuration – the module is managed through the Admin Area. All
technicians must be allowed to use it at Management>Technicians, selecting the
Permissions tab. This procedure is necessary even for technicians with Admin Area’s
administrator privileges.
There are two different kinds of privileges: Access and Management
Access- The technician can create new alerts, run existing scripts and audit machines.
Can’t:
1. Activate/deactivate inSight monitoring in selected computers;
2. Delete Alerts;
3. Add/Delete/Edit Scripts.
Management - The technician enjoys total control over inSight Lite licenses
and features.

ALERTS AND MONITORING
The inSight Lite Edition features an advanced system health-status monitoring
module, as well as a real-time alert engine; both tools allow for a swift situation-
awareness of all connected devices. Technicians will also be able to establish specific
rules for specific situations, activating automatic and immediate measures whenever
the situation dictates an intervention.
Monitoring and setting up alerts:
My Computers
Thanks to the BeAnywhere inSight Lite Edition feature, the My Computers category,
at the Admin Area, now looks like this:
Agent’s Search features:
● inSight PCs only field – Computers being monitored.
● With applied rules only field – Computers being monitored and with
associated alerts.
General tab specific options:
● Option Enable monitoring (You have used X of Y monitoring licenses.)
● Specifies the agents being monitored and the number of remaining available
monitoring licenses.
Alerts
This tab shows all the available alerts and the rules that activate each one. Listed are
the active and inactive alerts, enabling you to delete, create or activate/deactivate
any of them. Listed are also the available alerts (each machine can be associated
with 10 active alerts, plus 20 more inactive alerts).
NOTE: Deactivating an alert means that the associated rules will no longer be applied, but the Alerts History will remain
intact and the alert will be ready for immediate reactivation. Deleting an alert means that the history of occurrences will
also be lost and you won’t be able to reactivate that alert – you’ll need to create a new one from scratch.

Alerts>Add New
The type of rules that can be created are the following:
● CPU - If the CPU usage is bigger/smaller than X% for Y minutes/hours...
● Memory - If the physical memory occupation is bigger/smaller than X%/MB/GB
for Y minutes/hours...
● Disk space - If the used space for the drive X is bigger/smaller than Y%/MB/GB
for Y minutes/hours...
● Process not executed - If the process X is not in execution...
● Process executed - If the process X is being executed...
● Service not executed – If the service X is not in execution...
● Service executed – If the service X is being executed...
● Service execution type – If the service X has the type of execution Y …
● Windows Events – Detect in the Application/System/Security registries from the
Event Viewer; detect text strings in the Category, Source, Event ID, User, Computer
Name, Message and Description fields.
● There is also a customizable threshold for this kind of alert: ignores every
subsequent identical event that occurs during a specified time-period.
● ONLINE/OFFLINE - If the computer remains without communication for more
than 10 minutes...
Every rule allows the following actions:
● Register Only (information will be stored in the Alerts History tab)
● Send E-mail (the alert is registered and sent to the provided e-mail address)
● Deploy script (executes a script from the scripts repository)
You can apply the same rule to more than one computer: you only need to select
the relevant machines on the right. The list will show the amount of alerts that can
still be set on each PC.
NOTE: You can’t give the same name to two different alerts – in that event, the second alert will be automatically renamed
(e.g. “High CPU” will be renamed to “High CPU (2)”).
Alerts History
This tab keeps record of all alerts associated to rules that haven’t been deleted. In
addition to the date, the rule name and the settings that trigger and stop them, you
can also check what action the rule originated and to which address a notification
e-mail was sent (if sent).

System Info>Dashboard
The Dashboard is the only indicator available to all computers, even the ones with no
active monitoring. The technician can rapidly check the major features of the entire
BASE Agents lot.
NOTE: The REFRESH button, available in each category of the System Info tab, will only work for that particular category
(avoiding an overcharge of the remote computers and BeAnywhere’s databases) – the remaining categories will stay the
same. If you need to update them all, you will have to do it one-by-one.
System Info>Applications
System Info>Processes
This category shows all the computer’s installed programs (and registered in the OS),
sorted by manufacturer. When a security update is available, the program will be
marked with red colors and a link for the update will be provided.
The Processes category features all the processes that have been detected in the
moment the data was gathered. This information is quite volatile, so the use of alerts
is recommended over this category.
The indicators are:
● Name
● CPU occupation %
● Occupied memory (KB)
● Priority
● Number of threads
● User that houses the process
● Physical memory occupation %

In this area you will find the physical and virtual machine adapters, as well as the
fields that follow:
● MAC address
● Machine DNS
● Domain DNS
● Address assigned by DHCP (Yes/No)
● DHCP Server
System Info>Network
System Info>Services
This tab shows the system services, including name, status, mode and type.
System Info>Drivers
This category presents all system registered drivers, stating the following fields:
● Name – Driver registry name.
● Type – Type of driver (kernel, filesystem).
● Path – Driver’s registered location.
● X – Driver status, stating its effective presence on the system.
System Stats

This tab presents the history for the last 15 days for the following indicators:
● CPU 1 - in servers with multiple real processors, only shows the first CPU; when
dealing with processors with multiple cores/threads, all of them will be part of the
CPU’s metrics (usage percentage).
● Physical memory - in Gigabytes.
● Hard Drive space used - in Gigabytes. It is possible to select any of the
available drives.
This table indicates not only the graph’s information but also what information is
stored on record – the BeAnywhere’s data-base only stores detailed information
for the last six hours.
It is also possible to select the visualization metrics included in the chart - this is
particularly useful for longer periods of time, with lower graph resolution.

This interface allows the creation of script groups and script sub-groups. To create a
new group, simply click on ADD GROUP.
Equally, adding a new script starts by clicking the ADD SCRIPT button.
In this window, specify a name and a description for the new script. You can check
it immediately as active or choose to do it later; then click on ADD SCRIPT. In the
event that the script needs one or more resources available for download through
the web, add them through the ADD FILE button.
NOTE: You are entitled to add an unlimited number of resources. At this screen you may also delete or edit the
settings already set.
SCRIPTS EXECUTION
The inSight Lite Edition allows advanced settings like the immediate or scheduled
script deployment in any of the listed computers. It is directly compatible with
Batche files, Visual Basic Script and Powershell. As long as the machine has the
appropriate runtime installed and correctly configured, the script deployment will
work, regardless of the language used. You can also set the scripts deployment
through alerts.
Scripts deployment>Adding a new script to the Repository
To run a script task you need to first add and set the script in the repository, by
clicking in Management>Scripts.
In this window, specify a name for the file. It is also possible to add a MD5 hash,
enabling the file’s integrity validation. Next, indicate the URL from where the resource
will be downloaded, as well as the local device’s destiny folder. It is also possible
to specify if the file will be always downloaded or downloaded only when the file
doesn’t exist locally. The first option is useful when the resource is constantly updated
through the same URL.
When finished, click SAVE.
NOTE: The inSight Lite Edition only natively supports file downloading through the web, from internet or intranet, using
HTTP and HTTPS protocols (the technician is able to copy files from the local network, enjoying the extended power
and versatility of script’s commands).

Afterwards, at Script Content, you can set whether the script text is directly inserted
in BASE interface, through the Explicit Script option, or whether it is available in a
text file located in an external URL, by selecting External Script.
In the first case, the technician should paste the necessary commands to the Script
Body field and then select the type of script being added.
If the technician chooses External Script, he will need to enter a URL – it is also
possible to add an MD5 to validate the file’s integrity – and select the script type.
By clicking SAVE, data will be saved and the script will be ready to deploy.
You can move it to a different group, using the MOVE TO button; or delete it,
clicking the DELETE button.
Scripts deployment>Create a new script deployment job
After setting up one or more scripts at the repository, you will be able to create a
deployment job. The script can be distributed to one or more devices, making it
possible to schedule the beginning of the deployment, set the context and set the
result notification.
NOTE: To deploy multiple scripts in a single job, add to the repository a script containing different scripts.
If a technician chooses to use the standard settings, it will only be necessary to
name the job on the first window and then click NEXT. However, there are multiple
parameters that can be set:
The option Start on allows the technician to sset a specific time and date to launch
the job (standard setting orders an immediate start). However, jobs will always keep
to a 5 minute delay after creation, to allow their cancellation. When expanding this
option, two extra configuration options will appear:
● Deployment will stop – If the job isn’t over when time limit is reached, you
will get a report about the current status and the job will be marked as completed.
● Computers will discard this job if not completed in – If the job isn’t concluded
in one or more devices when time limit is reached, the job will be marked as failed.
By default, the Run as option is set for the script to be deployed in the system account
context. The technician can also choose to deploy the script in another context, local
or from the network (for instance, using domain administration credentials), with
limited or unlimited privileges.

In any of the contexts, the following options are possible:
● Deploy only when the user has an active session;
● Allow script interaction with the local user – For instance, when installing software
incapable of performing a silent installment or when trying to make sure that the
user is able to cancel the script deployment.
In the last tab, you need to select the device(s) that will perform the job and
click DEPLOY SCRIPT. It will be deployed according to the specified options. It
is also possible to specify whether the script resources should be erased after a
successful deployment.
After setting up these elements, click NEXT. Now select the script to deploy
(the description of the chosen element will be visible). After the job setting is
complete, click NEXT.
To follow the script job status or to check the script History you should choose
the REPORTS>Script Jobs link.
Here you will be able to check when a job has started and ended, its status, its
author and the script content, when applicable.
Using the REPLICATE NOW button, the technician can repeat the job execution.
Check our video tutorial about Scripts.

AUDITING DEVICES
The inSight Lite Edition also allows the auditing of one or more devices. Through this
feature you will be able to obtain detailed reports about the activities performed in
the selected devices, as well as detailed information about those same devices.
To start an audit, go to REPORTS>Audit Devices.
A similar screen to the Script deployment screen will pop-up. It is possible
to choose one or multiple computers inside each group. After selecting the
computers to audit you will only need to click the AUDIT button.
At the new window you can choose which report you want to generate and
a destination e-mail address for that report. Just like in all the other reports
generated by BeAnywhere, a link will be sent by e-mail.

ADDENDUM
IMPORTANT:
When using the Remote Desktop tab, make sure the mouse is outside the remote
desktop area for the shortcuts to work locally and not be passed through the
remote computer. The other option is to click the “Scroll Lock” key: this way, the
shortcuts will always be executed locally, regardless of the mouse position.
