ISL Light

 

The following settings are available in this menu:

ISL Light

Basic

  • ISL Light (Disabling this option will prevent the user(s) from starting any remote support sessions or connecting to unattended computers. The user(s) will also be unable to view the "Remote Support" tab on webpages)
  • ISL Light valid after (use a time stamp value in the following form: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS)
  • ISL Light valid before (use a time stamp value in the following form: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS)

Note: If ISL Light Desk is trying to obtain a code outside of the limits specified above or if a session is active and the time limit is reached, an error message is shown.

IP Filtering

  • Desk code request IP filter (Limits session code generation based on IP or MAC address. For a detailed guide on how to use filters please see the Using Filters manual)

Session Management

  • Scheduled sessions (in UTC) (This setting specifies the days of the week and times when the user is allowed to start a session. Outside of the schedule, new sessions will be rejected.
    The time schedule can be set for individual days of the week (1=10:00-14:00, 4=15:00-17:00) or for a range of days (5-7=11:00-12:00). Please note that day 1 is Sunday and day 7 is Saturday. For each day, multiple schedules can be specified with different time ranges (00:00-24:00) in UTC time standard.
    When the setting is in the wrong format, all new connections to remote computers will be rejected and an error log will be appended to the server log file.
    For more details and examples, please refer to the manual.)
  • End active sessions at the scheduled end time (When this setting is enabled, existing sessions will be ended when the end time for scheduled sessions is reached. When this setting is disabled, the user is allowed to continue with any active sessions when the end time for scheduled sessions is reached.)
  • Maximum session duration (time limit in seconds) (Set the time limit (in seconds) after which an ISL Light session will be ended. If this setting is left empty, no time limit is set.)
  • Timeout to terminate the disconnected session (time limit in seconds) (Set the time limit (in seconds) after which the session is automatically terminated when disconnected from the server (no endpoint is connected to the server). The minimum value is 60 seconds)

ICE Management (direct connection)

  • Allow the use of ICE infrastructure (Allow the use of ICE infrastructure to establish direct connection.)
  • ICE connection factor (Adjust the connection factor to control the prioritization of using direct connections in ISL Light. The ICE connection quality score is calculated using a linear function: f(connection ping time) = -1 * (connection ping time) * (connection factor) + (connection boost)
    The quality (connection ping time) is multiplied by this value, and the resulting ICE quality connection score determines how direct connections are prioritized over connection via the GRID. If the calculated ICE connection quality score is higher than the connection quality score via GRID (based on connection factor and connection boost), ISL Light will prioritize direct connections over connection via the GRID for improved performance.)
  • ICE connection boost (Define the connection boost applied to the connection quality score. The ICE connection quality score is calculated using a linear function: f(connection ping time) = -1 * (connection ping time) * (connection factor) + (connection boost). The connection boost is added to calculate the ICE connection quality score.)

Permissions

Invite an operator

  • Skip login authentication (guest operator) (When this setting is enabled, operators are allowed to invite guest operators (without a user account) into their ISL Light sessions)

Note: This option is only available for sessions that you own.

Remote Desktop

  • View Remote Desktop (When this setting is enabled, the operator can view the remote desktop (client). When the setting is disabled, the connection to the remote computer can be established, but the operator won't be able to see the remote desktop)
    • View Remote Desktop (v1) (Version 1 of this setting applies to ISL Light Desk 3 (Windows) and ISL Light Client 3 (Windows)
    • View Remote Desktop (v2) (Version 2 of this setting applies to ISL Light 4 (Windows, macOS, Linux) and ISL Light Client 4 (macOS and Linux))
  • Control Remote Desktop (When this setting is enabled, the operator can control the remote desktop (client). When the setting is disabled, the operator will be able to see the remote desktop, but won't be able to control it)
    • Control Remote Desktop (v1) (Version 1 of this setting applies to ISL Light Desk 3 (Windows) and ISL Light Client 3 (Windows))
    • Control Remote Desktop (v2) (Version 2 of this setting applies to ISL Light 4 (Windows, macOS, Linux) and ISL Light Client 4 (macOS and Linux))
  • Share My Screen (When this setting is enabled, the operator can share his screen to the remote computer (client). When the setting is disabled, the connection to the remote computer (client) can still be established, but the operator will be unable to share their screen with the client)

    • Share my Screen (v2) (Version 2 of this setting applies to ISL Light 4 (Windows, macOS, Linux) and ISL Light Client 4 (macOS and Linux))
  • Control My Screen (When this setting is enabled, the remote computer (client) can control the operator's computer. If the setting is disabled, the client will enter the session in whiteboard mode. This will allow them to see your desktop (if the "Share My Screen" setting is enabled), but they won't be able to control it. In order for the client to control your computer, the client will need to request permission and the local (operator) side will have to grant it)
    • Control My Screen (v1) (Version 1 of this setting applies to ISL Light Desk 3 (Windows) and ISL Light Client 3 (Windows))
    • Control My Screen (v2) (Version 2 of this setting applies to ISL Light 4 (Windows, macOS, Linux) and ISL Light Client 4 (macOS and Linux))
  • Clipboard (This setting enables clipboard sharing between the local and remote computers. The operator can utilize the Copy (Ctrl-C) command on the remote computer and Paste (Ctrl-V) it on the local computer or vice versa. This eliminates the need to send snippets of text via the text chat, or any other means of communication to the remote desktop (client))
    • Clipboard (v1) (Version 1 of this setting applies to ISL Light Desk 3 (Windows) and ISL Light Client 3 (Windows))
    • Clipboard (v2) (Version 2 of this setting applies to ISL Light 4 (Windows, macOS, Linux) and ISL Light Client 4 (macOS and Linux))

    • Send Files (v1) (Version 1 of this setting applies to ISL Light Desk 3 (Windows) and ISL Light Client 3 (Windows))
    • Send Files (v2) (Version 2 of this setting applies to ISL Light 4 (Windows, macOS, Linux) and ISL Light Client 4 (macOS and Linux))

    • Receive Files (v2) (Version 2 of this setting applies to ISL Light 4 (Windows, macOS, Linux) and ISL Light Client 4 (macOS and Linux))
  • File Manager (Enabling this setting allows the operator to use the File Manager functionality. Please note that when this setting is disabled, file transfer can still be performed unless the "Send Files" and "Receive Files" settings are also disabled)
    • File Manager (v1) (Version 1 of this setting applies to ISL Light Desk 3 (Windows) and ISL Light Client 3 (Windows))
    • File Manager (v2) (Version 2 of this setting applies to ISL Light 4 (Windows, macOS, Linux) and ISL Light Client 4 (macOS and Linux))

RDP / SSH

  • Enable Jumpbox functionality (This setting enables the possibility to include tunnel endpoints, other than localhost, on either the operator side or the client side. The setting also requires the "Enable operator-side tunnel creation" setting to be enabled (the "Enable client - side tunnel creation" setting should also be enabled if using a reverse Jumpbox tunnel). Read more about Jumpbox functionality here)
  • Enable client-side tunnel creation (This setting enables the client to create tunnels to the operator side. Please note that when this setting is disabled, tunnels can still be created from the operator to the client unless the "Enable operator-side tunnel creation" setting is also disabled)
