Shut down

Turns it off. You can wake it later with Wake-on-LAN if its network card supports it.

Rotate password

Issues a new access password for the device (“Access password rotated”).

Wake up

Shown for offline devices. Asks another online computer on the same network to send a Wake-on-LAN packet, then waits for it to come online (“… is awake”).

Identity and network card

The ID is the device’s Silux ID. Network card (used for Wake-on-LAN) shows the MAC address the agent reported; Wake-on-LAN targets this card.

Unattended access card

“Anyone with one of these passwords can connect to this computer by its Silux ID without the person there accepting, with the permissions of the password’s profile.”

Fill in Label (e.g. “Night shift”), Password (8+ characters) and Profile.
Press Add (“Unattended password added”). Delete a password with its bin icon.

With no passwords the card says “No unattended passwords. Connect-by-ID always asks the person at the computer.”

Health charts and recent sessions

Sparkline charts of CPU, Memory, Disk and Network over the last 24 hours, reported by the agent. “No data reported in the last 24 hours” means the agent hasn’t sent health data. Recent sessions lists the latest sessions to this computer.

Connecting to a computer

Every way to open a session: from the website, from the desktop app, by Silux ID + access code, with an unattended password, and from your phone.

Wake-on-LAN from anywhere

Wake a sleeping or switched-off computer from the website: another online computer on the same network sends the magic packet for you.

Permission profiles, “ask before connecting” and the connection manager

Control what sessions may do, when the person at the computer must approve, and how they can restrict or end a session while it runs.
