ON LINE ASSISTANCE 6.1 Remote assistance  using Webex Support Center Webex  Support  Center is a service that allows the activation of a two host session, making  an  application  or  the  desktop  available  to  the  other  user  or  letting  you capture another remote desktop. It can be used  to perform web  conferences  and presentations. It is easy  to use thanks to its simple and intuitive interface. Since  there  are  no  firewalls  or  other types  of  network  configurations,  it  is  a fast and  secure  means  of  reaching  any client host in any part of the world. In fact, the client  only  has  to  accept  to  download  a  small  plug  used  to  permit  the  service authentication and functioning.  6.1.1 How  to use the Webex  service   You  will  receive  an  email  from  IDS  Customer  Care  containing  a  link  to  the support session  (see Fig.  6.1).
