About Remote User Rights
Remote (WhatsUp Gold
Central and Remote Site
Editions) - (optional)
Access Remote Reports Enables users to view reports on WhatsUp Gold remote sites.
Configure Remote Sites Enables users to create, edit, and delete remote sites for use with
WhatsUp Gold Central and Remote Site Editions.
When using WhatsUp Gold Distributed or MSP editions, make sure that Access Remote
Reports is selected on the Central Site for each user that you want to provide access to the
Remote Site reports. Also, make sure that you select Configure Remote Sites if you want a
user to be able to access and change options in the Configure Remote Sites dialog. This
dialog provides a list of all of the Remote Sites that have connected to the Central Site. You
can view and edit two important settings in this dialog:
Accept remote site connection. Allows authorized users to enable or disable
accepting connections from Remote Sites. This option is checked by default. The
primary reason to clear the option is if you need to disable the Central Site from
accepting any connections from this Remote Site. For example, this option could be
helpful if one of the Remote Sites connected to the Central Site has an unusual
amount of activity and is using too much bandwidth between sites. This option lets
you temporarily disable a single Central Site from accepting remote site connections
until you determine what the problem is.
Local device. Allows authorized users to select a local device to associate with the
Remote Site. Click the browse (...) button to select a device. This device is often the
computer that is running the WhatsUp software on a Remote Site. Associating a local
device allows you to view the device status from the Remote Site, keeping you
informed about the connection status with the Remote Site. It also provides easy
access to the Network Tools for the local device you selected.
