About LogMeIn Rescue
       LogMeIn Rescue is used to provide instant remote support to customers and employees. With Rescue, you can gain
       control of a remote PC, Mac, or smartphone over the web in seconds, without the need to pre-install software.
       LogMeIn Rescue is a web-based solution for attended remote support. Once the technician is connected to the
       customer's device he has a set of reporting and incident resolution tools at his disposal, giving him just about the
       same capabilities as if he was sitting in front of the customer's device. As long as both the technician and the
       customer have a working connection to the Internet, the physical distance between them is irrelevant.
       By attended remote support we mean that the technician can only take actions with the explicit consent of the
       customer. Each time the technician needs to take a new action (for example, seeing which processes are currently
       running on the customer's device) a dialog box is displayed on the customer's screen explicitly asking him to allow
       this action at this time. Alternatively, you can set Technician Group permissions to allow the presentation of a
       single prompt to the customer, who can then grant the technician all permissions.




About the LogMeIn Rescue Administration Center
       Administrators use the LogMeIn Rescue Administration Center to configure LogMeIn Rescue to reflect any support
       organization; from one support technician, to teams of support technicians with different responsibilities and
       capabilities.
       This intuitive online interface is used by administrators to create and assign permissions for other administrators
       and Technician Groups. Administrators can also create Support Channels - web-based links that automatically
       connect Customers to technicians - and assign them to specific Technician Groups.
       The Administration Center allows Administrators to:
       • Create Technician Groups and assign group permissions
       • Assign support channels to specific Technician Groups
       • Enable and view reports of technician performance
       • Enable and view reports of customer satisfaction levels
       • And More. See the LogMeIn Rescue Administration Center User Guide for details.




About the LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console
       Technicians provide remote support using the LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console.
       When a technician logs in to LogMeIn Rescue, he will automatically be taken to the Technician Console where he
       can conduct multiple simultaneous sessions using the following features (and more):
       • Direct connection to the Customer via PIN code or emailed link
       • Desktop View and Remote Control, including Whiteboard
       • Detailed Session History & Notes
       • Chat Interface with Predefined Replies, URL Push, and File Transfer
       • Detailed System Diagnostics, including Reboot & Reconnect
       See the LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console User Guide for details.

About LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile
    As a premium add-on feature of LogMeIn Rescue, LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile provides an easy and secure solution
    for remote troubleshooting of smartphones.
    LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile can help you cut costs, save time, increase first call resolution, and show users how to
    use their smartphone.
    LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile provides a simulation of the customer's smartphone on a support technician's computer.
    The technician can manipulate the screen, use its keypad, and control it as if it were in his own hands.
    See the LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile Getting Started Guide for details.

    What You Get
    • Remote control over leading smartphones
    • Proven helpdesk technology
    • Reduced support costs
    • Increased customer satisfaction
    • Accelerated adoption of new services
    • Increased first-call resolution and a decrease in “no trouble found” device returns
    • The ability to solve difficult issues for your highly valued customers
    • Shorter support lines at your retail outlets




About Security in LogMeIn Rescue
    • There is no need to open any extra ports on your corporate or personal firewall, as all communication between
      the technician and the customer’s computer makes use of the standard web protocol (HTTP).
    • An encrypted connection is established between technician and customer, using established Internet protocols
      (256-bit SSL).
    • Support sessions are initiated by the customer: a technician cannot examine a customer’s device without being
      invited to do so by the customer.
    • Once the support session has ended, all access rights to the customer’s device are revoked.
    • It is possible to channel sessions to a chosen group of technicians. For example, support requests from certain
      executives with access to sensitive information could be channeled exclusively to senior support technicians.
    • Sessions can be recorded to provide a trail of a technician’s actions.
    • An MD5 hash is calculated and recorded for each file transfer. Generating an MD5 hash makes it possible to check
      whether a file sent to a customer’s device has been changed.
    • Nothing is permanently installed on the customer’s computer. A small Applet is downloaded when the session
      starts and is removed when the session ends. The only exception is the Rescue Calling Card application.
    For more information, see the LogMeIn Rescue Architecture Whitepaper.

Setting up Your Organization


About the Organization Tree
       The Organization Tree is where you configure Rescue to match your support organization. It is displayed in the left
       panel of the Administration Center interface.
       Once you have set up your organization, the Organization Tree offers a clear representation of your structure and
       makes it easy to select existing organization members and channels and to make changes with a simple
       drag-and-drop motion.

               Tip: To achieve optimal performance, close all items on the Organization Tree that you are not currently
               using. This is particularly important for very large accounts.

        Expand/Collapse branches           Branches can be expanded/collapsed by clicking +/-
        Drag-and-Drop                      Certain items of the Organization Tree can be dragged and dropped items within
                                           the tree. For example, Administrators can be assigned to a Technician Group
                                           by dragging them into the group. Technicians and Technician Groups can also
                                           be easily moved and assigned using the drag-and-drop facility.
        Right-click menu                   Right-click any item in the tree brings to open a shortcut menu. The available
                                           selections in the menu change depending on your user role and the item you
                                           are clicking.
        Dynamic relationship with the      Selecting an item on the organization tree opens the relevant form in the
        Workspace                          Workspace.

                   Dynamic Workspace Example
                   Select Technician Group 1 in the Organization Tree and select the Settings tab. The Settings
                   for Technician Group 1 are displayed on the Local Setting tab.
                   Next, select Technician 2. The Settings for Technician 2 are displayed on the Settings Tab.
                   Next, if you select the Sessions tab, the session information for Technician 2 is displayed in
                   the Sessions tab.

About Technician Console Permissions
     The exact features you can use and actions you can take in the LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console will depend
     on permissions granted by your Rescue administrator and potentially by any individual customer during a session.
     Check with your Rescue Administrator if you experience permission-related problems.




12                                                                                         LogMeIn Rescue Getting Started
Connecting to Customers
       LogMeIn Rescue connection methods are defined as either Private or Channel.
       A Private connection is made when the technician initiates a remote session with a customer (the direction is from
       the technician to the customer). PIN code and email-based connection links are Private connection methods.
       A Channel connection is made when a customer initiates contact with a technician through a channel link or form,
       or using the Rescue Calling Card (the direction is from the customer to the technician).




About the PIN Code Connection Method
       The PIN Code connection method is a Private connection method that is most applicable if a technician has already
       been communicating with a customer.

       Process Overview: PIN Code Connection
       • The technician generates a temporary 6-digit PIN code from the Technician Console
       • The technician communicates the PIN code to the customer, generally by telephone or email
       • The customer visits either www.LogMeIn123.com or your corporate website/intranet hosting the PIN Entry field
         and enters the value in the relevant field
       • A connection is made between the customer and technician
       • The support session is assigned to the Private Queue of the technician who created the PIN Code
       • The technician can activate the support session

       Benefits of the PIN Code Connection Method
       • Easy to get started
       • Sessions are under your control, because your customers can only get into the Rescue system if a technician
         invites them
       • Easily understood by Customers
       Points to consider:
       • Requires a phone call or previous chat contact before session can be started
       • Only one technician will see the session, perhaps causing scalability concerns


How to Start a Session via PIN Code
       Follow this procedure to connect to a customer using a PIN code.
       The agent's Technician Group must have permission to start Private Sessions.

       1. On the Session toolbar, click New Session.
          The Create New Session window is displayed.
       2. Type the customer's name or other identifier in the Name field.
          You will use this name to identify the session on the Active Session tab and in the Session List.
       3. Select the PIN Code tab.
       4. Click Create PIN Code.
          Rescue generates a 6 digit PIN code and displays it in the Generate New Session window and in the Session
          Log.


Copyright © 2009 LogMeIn, Inc.                                                                                         13
5. Ask your customer to go to www.LogMeIn123.com.
     6. The customer enters the PIN in the Support Connection box and clicks Connect to technician.
        The customer will see a dialog box asking him to download the Support-LogMeInRescue.exe applet.
     7. Tell the customer to click Run to download the applet.
        The download should take about 15 to 30 seconds.
     8. Once the download is complete, ask the customer to click Run to execute the LogMein Rescue Applet.
        Once the Applet is installed, the customer status will change from Connecting to Waiting.
     9. Pick up the session by selecting it in the Session list and clicking Start.
        Customer Status will change to Active.

     You can now use the Technician Console to deliver remote support.




About the Connection Link Method
     Connection Link is a Private connection method that is useful if you have frequent email contact with your customers
     or if you are using a third party chat tool.

     Process Overview: Connection Link
     • The technician starts a new Private Session
     • The technician generates a standard, yet customizable, email message containing a Connection Link and sends
       it to the customer using his own email client or via the Rescue server
     • Alternately, the technician can copy the link to his clipboard and send it to the customer via a third party chat
       tool or similar means
     • The customer clicks the link in the received message
     • A connection is made between the customer and technician
     • The support session is assigned to the Private Queue of the technician who created the link
     • The technician can activate the support session

     Benefits of the Connection Link Method
     • The technician controls the number of incoming sessions
     • The customer does not need to visit a website
     Points to consider:
     • The end user may not read the email before the link validity expires
     • Only one technician will see the session


How to Start a Session via Email
     Follow this procedure to connect to a customer using a link sent via email.

     1. On the Session toolbar, click New Session.
        The Create New Session window is displayed.
     2. Type the customer's name or other identifier in the Name field.
        You will use this name to identify the session on the Active Session tab and in the Session List.
     3. Select the Email tab.
     4. Choose how you want send the email to the customer:
        •   Select Send email via default email client if you want to use your own email client and account
        •   Select Send email via Rescue system and enter a valid email address if you want Rescue to send the email

14                                                                                            LogMeIn Rescue Getting Started
5. Click Email Link.
          The email is generated (and sent if you chose to send the mail via the Rescue system).
       6. Ask your customer to open the message and click the link or paste it to his browser.
          The customer sees a dialog box asking him to download the Rescue Applet.
       7. Tell the customer to click Run to download the applet.
          The download should take about 15 to 30 seconds.
       8. Once the download is complete, ask the customer to click Run to execute the LogMein Rescue Applet.
          Once the Applet is installed, the customer status will change from Connecting to Waiting.
       9. Pick up the session by selecting it in the Session list and clicking Start.
          Customer Status will change to Active.

       You can now use the Technician Console to deliver remote support.

                   Sample Email Containing a Connection Link

You can now use the Technician Console to deliver remote support.




About the Channel Form Connection Method
     Channel Form is useful if you offer web-based support to your customers.
     This method allows you to host both a link on your website/intranet as well as a questionnaire which your customers
     have to complete.

     Process Overview: Channel Form
     • A Rescue Administrator assigns any of the ten available channels in the Administration Center to a Technician
       Group
     • A Rescue Administrator develops the custom web form and defines the custom fields
     • A Rescue Administrator makes the Channel Form available on an Internet or Intranet site
     • A customer opens the Channel Form, enters all required information, and submits the form
     • The support session is assigned to the Channel Queue of the Technician Group(s) associated with the channel
     • Any online technician in an assigned Technician Group can activate the support session

     Benefits of the Channel Form Method
     • Pre-qualify your users with various customizable conditions: error codes, user ID, problem type
     • Collect contact information from your end users; such as phone numbers or email addresses
     • Integrates into online functions such as user authentication or automated qualification of the user’s request via
       a simple HTML code element
     • Allows the best tracking of the user and the problem in the Rescue database
     Points to consider:
     • Customers may try to connect 24 hours a day, so Rescue Administrators must use 'No Technician Available' settings
       to deal with connections made outside of business hours
     • When customers are initiating session requests, Rescue Administrators must use dynamic channel and team
       re-routing to control traffic during peak hours
     • Web developer and/or graphic design resources may be required for customization and integration




About the Calling Card Connection Method
     The LogMeIn Rescue Calling Card allows for both Channel and Private connections.
     When your customers need support, they simply click the Calling Card icon to open your branded Calling Card
     Applet.
     Unlike other connection methods, the Calling Card needs to be installed on the customer's PC before it can be used.
     It exists as a desktop shortcut or Quick Launch icon, which the customer clicks to launch the pre-installed Calling
     Card Applet.
     The Calling Card can be downloaded as an MSI installer from your website, or it can be silently deployed by
     technicians during the first Rescue session with the customer, using the Technician Console.
     The Calling Card can be customized in appearance; including text, logos, images, and color schemes.

           Important: Calling Card is not available if the customer is using a Mac.


16                                                                                            LogMeIn Rescue Getting Started
Process Overview: Calling Card
       • A Rescue Administrator generates Calling Card Installers for channels in the Administration Center
       • A Rescue Administrator allows Calling Card deployment for Technician Groups
       • A Rescue Administrator associates Calling Card Installers with Technician Groups
       • Optional: Rescue Administrators may customize the Calling Card's appearance
       • Customers download the Calling Card application or it is deployed by technicians via the Technician Console
       • A customer opens the Calling Card and connects to your organization using a PIN provided by a specific technician
         or via the channel associated with the Calling Card
       • The support session is assigned to the individual technician who provided the PIN, or to the Channel Queue of
         the Technician Group(s) associated with the channel
       • The individual technician or any online technician in an assigned Technician Group can activate the support
         session

       Benefits of Calling Card Connection
       • Once the Calling Card is installed, it offers an easy, one-click, no-download connection
       • Branding allows you to extend your corporate appearance right to the customer’s desktop
       • The layout can be dynamically changed, for example to announce special offers and marketing messages
       • Each Calling Card is linked to a Channel
       Points to consider:
       • Customers may try to connect 24 hours a day, so Rescue Administrators must use 'No Technician Available' settings
         to deal with connections made outside of business hours
       • When customers are initiating session requests, Rescue Administrators must use dynamic channel and team
         re-routing to control traffic during peak hours
       • Web developer and/or graphic design resources may be required for customization and integration




About the SMS Connection Method
       Using Rescue+Mobile, technicians can connect to a customer's Smartphone via SMS text message.
       SMS is a Private connection method.
       The SMS option is only available to technicians with an active Rescue+Mobile subscription.

       Process Overview: SMS Connection
       The procedure is similar for all platforms, but the exact flow may vary. We encourage you to experiment in a test
       environment before running live sessions.
       • The technician enters the customers telephone number on the Create New Session form and sends an SMS
         containing a link and a 6-digit PIN code
       • The customer opens the SMS and clicks the link to install the Applet
       • The technician activates the support session from his Private Queue

  • 3. About LogMeIn Rescue LogMeIn Rescue is used to provide instant remote support to customers and employees. With Rescue, you can gain control of a remote PC, Mac, or smartphone over the web in seconds, without the need to pre-install software. LogMeIn Rescue is a web-based solution for attended remote support. Once the technician is connected to the customer's device he has a set of reporting and incident resolution tools at his disposal, giving him just about the same capabilities as if he was sitting in front of the customer's device. As long as both the technician and the customer have a working connection to the Internet, the physical distance between them is irrelevant. By attended remote support we mean that the technician can only take actions with the explicit consent of the customer. Each time the technician needs to take a new action (for example, seeing which processes are currently running on the customer's device) a dialog box is displayed on the customer's screen explicitly asking him to allow this action at this time. Alternatively, you can set Technician Group permissions to allow the presentation of a single prompt to the customer, who can then grant the technician all permissions. About the LogMeIn Rescue Administration Center Administrators use the LogMeIn Rescue Administration Center to configure LogMeIn Rescue to reflect any support organization; from one support technician, to teams of support technicians with different responsibilities and capabilities. This intuitive online interface is used by administrators to create and assign permissions for other administrators and Technician Groups. Administrators can also create Support Channels - web-based links that automatically connect Customers to technicians - and assign them to specific Technician Groups. The Administration Center allows Administrators to: • Create Technician Groups and assign group permissions • Assign support channels to specific Technician Groups • Enable and view reports of technician performance • Enable and view reports of customer satisfaction levels • And More. See the LogMeIn Rescue Administration Center User Guide for details. About the LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console Technicians provide remote support using the LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console. When a technician logs in to LogMeIn Rescue, he will automatically be taken to the Technician Console where he can conduct multiple simultaneous sessions using the following features (and more): • Direct connection to the Customer via PIN code or emailed link • Desktop View and Remote Control, including Whiteboard • Detailed Session History & Notes • Chat Interface with Predefined Replies, URL Push, and File Transfer • Detailed System Diagnostics, including Reboot & Reconnect See the LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console User Guide for details. Copyright © 2009 LogMeIn, Inc. 3
  • 4. About LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile As a premium add-on feature of LogMeIn Rescue, LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile provides an easy and secure solution for remote troubleshooting of smartphones. LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile can help you cut costs, save time, increase first call resolution, and show users how to use their smartphone. LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile provides a simulation of the customer's smartphone on a support technician's computer. The technician can manipulate the screen, use its keypad, and control it as if it were in his own hands. See the LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile Getting Started Guide for details. What You Get • Remote control over leading smartphones • Proven helpdesk technology • Reduced support costs • Increased customer satisfaction • Accelerated adoption of new services • Increased first-call resolution and a decrease in “no trouble found” device returns • The ability to solve difficult issues for your highly valued customers • Shorter support lines at your retail outlets About Security in LogMeIn Rescue • There is no need to open any extra ports on your corporate or personal firewall, as all communication between the technician and the customer’s computer makes use of the standard web protocol (HTTP). • An encrypted connection is established between technician and customer, using established Internet protocols (256-bit SSL). • Support sessions are initiated by the customer: a technician cannot examine a customer’s device without being invited to do so by the customer. • Once the support session has ended, all access rights to the customer’s device are revoked. • It is possible to channel sessions to a chosen group of technicians. For example, support requests from certain executives with access to sensitive information could be channeled exclusively to senior support technicians. • Sessions can be recorded to provide a trail of a technician’s actions. • An MD5 hash is calculated and recorded for each file transfer. Generating an MD5 hash makes it possible to check whether a file sent to a customer’s device has been changed. • Nothing is permanently installed on the customer’s computer. A small Applet is downloaded when the session starts and is removed when the session ends. The only exception is the Rescue Calling Card application. For more information, see the LogMeIn Rescue Architecture Whitepaper. 4 LogMeIn Rescue Getting Started
  • 5. Setting up Your Organization About the Organization Tree The Organization Tree is where you configure Rescue to match your support organization. It is displayed in the left panel of the Administration Center interface.

  • 13. Connecting to Customers LogMeIn Rescue connection methods are defined as either Private or Channel. A Private connection is made when the technician initiates a remote session with a customer (the direction is from the technician to the customer). PIN code and email-based connection links are Private connection methods. A Channel connection is made when a customer initiates contact with a technician through a channel link or form, or using the Rescue Calling Card (the direction is from the customer to the technician). About the PIN Code Connection Method The PIN Code connection method is a Private connection method that is most applicable if a technician has already been communicating with a customer. Process Overview: PIN Code Connection • The technician generates a temporary 6-digit PIN code from the Technician Console • The technician communicates the PIN code to the customer, generally by telephone or email • The customer visits either www.LogMeIn123.com or your corporate website/intranet hosting the PIN Entry field and enters the value in the relevant field • A connection is made between the customer and technician • The support session is assigned to the Private Queue of the technician who created the PIN Code • The technician can activate the support session Benefits of the PIN Code Connection Method • Easy to get started • Sessions are under your control, because your customers can only get into the Rescue system if a technician invites them • Easily understood by Customers Points to consider: • Requires a phone call or previous chat contact before session can be started • Only one technician will see the session, perhaps causing scalability concerns How to Start a Session via PIN Code Follow this procedure to connect to a customer using a PIN code. The agent's Technician Group must have permission to start Private Sessions. 1. On the Session toolbar, click New Session. The Create New Session window is displayed. 2.

Process Overview: Channel Form • A Rescue Administrator assigns any of the ten available channels in the Administration Center to a Technician Group • A Rescue Administrator develops the custom web form and defines the custom fields • A Rescue Administrator makes the Channel Form available on an Internet or Intranet site • A customer opens the Channel Form, enters all required information, and submits the form • The support session is assigned to the Channel Queue of the Technician Group(s) associated with the channel • Any online technician in an assigned Technician Group can activate the support session Benefits of the Channel Form Method • Pre-qualify your users with various customizable conditions: error codes, user ID, problem type • Collect contact information from your end users; such as phone numbers or email addresses • Integrates into online functions such as user authentication or automated qualification of the user’s request via a simple HTML code element • Allows the best tracking of the user and the problem in the Rescue database Points to consider: • Customers may try to connect 24 hours a day, so Rescue Administrators must use 'No Technician Available' settings to deal with connections made outside of business hours • When customers are initiating session requests, Rescue Administrators must use dynamic channel and team re-routing to control traffic during peak hours • Web developer and/or graphic design resources may be required for customization and integration About the Calling Card Connection Method The LogMeIn Rescue Calling Card allows for both Channel and Private connections. When your customers need support, they simply click the Calling Card icon to open your branded Calling Card Applet. Unlike other connection methods, the Calling Card needs to be installed on the customer's PC before it can be used. It exists as a desktop shortcut or Quick Launch icon, which the customer clicks to launch the pre-installed Calling Card Applet. The Calling Card can be downloaded as an MSI installer from your website, or it can be silently deployed by technicians during the first Rescue session with the customer, using the Technician Console. The Calling Card can be customized in appearance; including text, logos, images, and color schemes. Important: Calling Card is not available if the customer is using a Mac. 16 LogMeIn Rescue Getting Started
