Activating TeamViewer on the MiSeq i100 Series Instruments

Background

The TeamViewer application is built into the instrument Control Software, allowing Illumina to provide remote support to users once they activate it. After remote support has concluded, the user can disable TeamViewer, preventing unauthorized remote access.

Enabling TeamViewer in the Control Software

1. From the MiSeq i100 Control Software, select the drop down menu in the top left corner, then select Remote Support.

2. On the Remote Support user interface (UI), select Start TeamViewer.

3. Once TeamViewer starts, the TeamViewer ID and passcode will display. Provide both of these to Illumina Support.

4. At the conclusion of the session, select Stop TeamViewer to close the connection.
