Step by step

  1. Open Beam in
    Step 1

    Open Beam in

    Sign in - a code is created on your account. Open Awacino, tap Beam in, then Grant device access.

  2. Choose the machine
    Step 2

    Choose the machine

    Which machine is this code for? This device, or any other computer on your account - also one that is not connected right now: it is woken when somebody uses the code.

  3. Choose how much to share
    Step 3

    Choose how much to share

    Network, Screen (VNC / RDP) or One port. A phone itself can share its network.

  4. How long and who for
    Step 4

    How long and who for

    Choose what the device will carry, how long the code works - no limit, until a time today or until a date - and who it is for. Then tap Create the Beam-in code.

  5. Send the code
    Step 5

    Send the code

    The app shows the 16-character code and its QR code. Copy the prepared message, or send it with the email app, the messages app or any other app.

  6. Delete it any time
    Step 6

    Delete it any time

    Under Access you have given, every code has a bin icon: Delete, and the code stops working at once. While a code exists it takes one slot.
