To install AnyDesk on the Hypertherm Edge Connect controller for a Victory CNC Plasma Machine, you typically follow the steps below, but please ensure that your system’s security policies and configurations allow the installation of third-party software. Here’s a general approach to get it done:
Requirements:
- Admin access to the Edge Connect controller.
- A USB drive or network access to transfer files (depending on your setup).
- AnyDesk installer (Windows version) file.
Steps:
1. Download AnyDesk:
- Go to AnyDesk’s official website and download the Windows version of AnyDesk.
- You can do this from a laptop or PC and save the installer to a USB drive or directly to the Edge Connect system if connected to the internet.
2. Prepare the Controller:
- Ensure that the Edge Connect controller is running a compatible version of Windows (it is typically running Windows Embedded or a similar Windows-based OS).
- If you can, connect the controller to the internet, or you can transfer the installer via USB.
3. Transfer the Installer (if needed):
- If you downloaded the installer on a different machine, copy the AnyDesk installer to a USB drive.
- Insert the USB drive into the Edge Connect controller and access the USB drive through File Explorer.
4. Install AnyDesk:
- Run the AnyDesk installer from the USB or wherever you transferred it to on the Edge Connect.
- Follow the standard installation prompts for Windows, choosing the default installation options unless otherwise required by the system.
- You might see an option to install AnyDesk as a system service, which is typically a good idea for remote access.
- Finish installation and let AnyDesk complete the process.
5. Allow Remote Access:
- Once installed, open AnyDesk and take note of the AnyDesk address provided.
- This will be used to access the controller remotely from another device.
6. Firewall and Security Settings:
- If the controller is running a firewall or security software, you may need to allow AnyDesk through the firewall settings for remote access to work.
- Check your firewall settings (typically in the control panel under Windows Firewall) to ensure AnyDesk is not blocked.
7. Test Remote Access:
- On a remote device (another computer, tablet, or phone), install AnyDesk.
- Open AnyDesk and input the AnyDesk address from the Edge Connect system to establish the connection.
Troubleshooting:
- Admin rights: If you don’t have administrative access on the Edge Connect controller, you’ll need to get permission from your IT team or the person responsible for the machine’s configuration.
- Compatibility: Double-check that AnyDesk is compatible with the version of Windows running on the Edge Connect.
- Network: Ensure that the Edge Connect is on a network that allows remote access (either through a local network or the internet).
Once AnyDesk is set up, you can remotely monitor, troubleshoot, or make adjustments to the Victory CNC Plasma Machine via the Edge Connect controller.
