Create a Beam in: let someone into your network
Jonas, Ben's IT partner, needs the office server for a day. Ben creates a Beam-in code, Jonas enters it in Awacino - and Ben switches it off again with one tap.
Ben about Awacino
- What I like
- A Beam-in code lets Jonas in exactly as far as I choose - and one tap switches it off again.
- Use case
- I use Awacino to let our IT partner into the office server for a day without handing out passwords or VPN accounts.
- What works better than with alternative solutions
- No permanent access to clean up later and no open port on the firewall - the access ends when I switch it off.
Step by step
Step 1Pick the device
Open Beam in, tap Grant device access and pick the device the code is for - any computer on your account.
Step 2Choose how much
The whole network, only the screen (VNC / RDP) or one port. The other person reaches exactly that and nothing more.
Step 3Who is it for?
Choose what the device carries - for example "This network only" - enter who the code is for and tap Create the Beam-in code.
Step 4Send the code
Awacino shows a 16-character code and a QR code. Send it by mail or message.
Step 5Enter the code
Jonas opens Beam out, Connect with a code, pastes the code and taps Connect. He is in Ben's office network.
Step 6Switch it off with one tap
Under "Access you have given" Ben sees every code and who uses it - and switches it off with one tap when the work is done.
