About LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile
As a premium add-on feature of LogMeIn Rescue, LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile provides an easy and secure solution
for remote troubleshooting of smartphones.
LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile can help you cut costs, save time, increase first call resolution, and show users how to
use their smartphone.
LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile provides a simulation of the customer's smartphone on a support technician's computer.
The technician can manipulate the screen, use its keypad, and control it as if it were in his own hands.

What You Get

• Remote control over leading smartphones
• Proven helpdesk technology
• Reduced support costs
• Increased customer satisfaction
• Accelerated adoption of new services
• Increased first-call resolution and a decrease in “no trouble found” device returns
• The ability to solve difficult issues for your highly valued customers
• Shorter support lines at your retail outlets

Customer Smartphone System Requirements

All devices running a supported platform can be supported using LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile. View an up-to-date list
of supported platforms.
Full phone simulations are available for many popular models. View an up-to-date list of simulated devices.
If a device is running a supported platform but is not on the list of simulated devices, then the technician can still
share control of the device using the generic device simulation (for Windows Mobile and Symbian) and/or hot keys
(for all platforms).

Connecting to Customers

About the SMS Connection Method

Using Rescue+Mobile, technicians can connect to a customer's Smartphone via SMS text message.
The SMS option is only available to technicians with an active Rescue+Mobile subscription.

Process Overview: SMS Connection

The procedure is similar for all platforms, but the exact flow may vary. We encourage you to experiment in a test
environment before running live sessions.
• The technician enters the customers telephone number on the Create New Session form and sends an SMS
containing a link and a 6-digit PIN code
• The customer opens the SMS and clicks the link to install the Applet
• The technician activates the support session from his Private Queue

SMS Connection, Step One: The Technician Activates the Session

1. Click New Session from the session toolbar at the top of the Technician Console.
The Create New Session dialog box is displayed.
2. In the Create New Session dialog box, input your customer’s name and phone number.
3. Click Send SMS.
Rescue+Mobile automatically detects the customer’s smartphone platform and installs the appropriate version
of the Rescue+Mobile Applet. If the technician knows the customer’s platform, he can choose to manually set
Device Platform using a drop-down list on the Create New Session dialog box. Manual detection may be
necessary if local browser settings prevent automatic detection.
A confirmation box will appear detailing the phone number and the PIN code that has been sent to the customer
in an SMS (text) message.

SMS Connection, Step Two: The Customer Installs and Runs the Applet

1. The customer opens the SMS message.

If your customer does not receive the SMS, ask him to open his browser and go to http://RescueMobile.com.
2. In the SMS, your customer clicks the link http://RescueMobile.com. If your customer does not have Rescue+Mobile
installed on his device, the Rescue+Mobile Applet download process begins.
3. Ask your customer to approve the installation. The Rescue+Mobile Applet will run once the installation is
complete.

Note: On some devices, the customer may be prompted to enter the PIN code you generated in the
Technician Console.

4. Once the Applet starts, the customer must wait for the technician to pick up the session.

6 LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile Getting Started

SMS Connection, Step Three: The Technician Picks up the Session
Once the customer has installed and run the Applet, the session will appear as Waiting in the session queue in the
Technician Console.

1. Pick up the session by highlighting it in the queue and clicking Start.

The session becomes Active.
2. On the Customer Display tab, click Launch Remote Control Session to activate remote control.
If available, you will see a simulation of the customer’s device. Otherwise, you will see the generic simulation.
3. Chat with the customer and remote control the device.
• Use your computer keyboard as normal
• Use your mouse to control the mobile device’s keypad

Tip: You cannot interact with a touchscreen using your mouse. Use your keyboard arrow keys to
navigate a touchscreen. Press Enter to select an item.

• Use the System Info tab to access a range of information about the customer’s device that can help you
assess system health and diagnose problems
• Open the File Manager to access a powerful dual-pane file sharing interface

4. Click End on the Session toolbar to end the session.

How to Connect to a Windows Mobile device via ActiveSync

Follow this procedure to initiate a Rescue+Mobile session on a device connected to a PC running ActiveSync.

ActiveSync should automatically detect the device and synchronize.
2. After synchronization has been completed, ask the customer to open Internet Explorer on his smartphone and
go to http://RescueMobile.com.

Advanced Topics for BlackBerry

How to Set BlackBerry Device Permissions

In some cases, the Rescue+Mobile Applet will function only after your customer has granted appropriate Application
Permissions to the Applet. Ask your customer to follow these instructions.

Note: Some customers may not be able to modify settings due to a centrally administered BlackBerry IT
Policy.

1. In the device options, click Advanced Options > Applications.

2. Highlight the LogMeIn Rescue application.
3. Press the Menu key and then select Edit Permissions.
4. Set the following permissions to Allow.
• Connections > Carrier Internet, Company Network, Wi-Fi
• Interactions > Interprocess Communication, Device Settings Modification, Module Management, Keystroke
Injection, Screen Capturing, Security Timer Reset
• User Data > Files, Key Store

Tip: If a customer experiences problems with permissions, he can access permission settings during the Applet
download process by selecting Set application permissions before starting the download. Rescue+Mobile generally
sets all required permissions automatically, so this feature should only be used as part of your troubleshooting
efforts.
