Remote Control

The DOSE-X can be controlled remotely via a web browser if it is connected to a network. The following
browsers are permitted for remote control:

  • Google Chrome (version 109.0.5414.120 or later)
  • Microsoft Edge (version 109.0.1518.7 or later)

CAUTION: USE ONLY PERMITTED WEB BROWSERS
Using the DOSE-X remotely from a web browser other than specified may introduce risks related to the product safety, usability, or cybersecurity.

  • Ensure that the device is connected to a network.
  • Switch on Allow remote access.
  • Using a remote device (computer, tablet, etc.), open a web browser (Microsoft Edge, Firefox, or Safari).
  • Type the device IP address in the web browser to connect to the DOSE-X. Please note, the device IP address can be found under the DEVICE INFO page.
  • To avoid the risk of multiple users changing a setting at the same time and possibly interrupting a measurement, only one user can have active control at a time.

CAUTION: DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE ENABLING THE HV OR CHANGING FACTORS
If you are controlling the DOSE-X remotely, and another user is connected to the DOSE-X (despite not having active control at the moment) double check with this user before enabling the HV or changing any factors.

 

Concurrent access for remote users

A user has connected to the DOSE-X remotely (1). If one or more users are connected to the device, the
status of the remote connection will be shown with a colored frame around the display and a cloud icon.
Please see below to understand how the connection status can transition during remote contol.

State transitions diagram for remote control of the DOSE-X

Control status of the DOSE-X:

  • Blue: There is no active control (2) of the device.
  • Orange: Someone else has active control (3) of the device. The Admin may takeover active control.
  • Green: You currently have active control (4) of the device:

    Only in this state can the user perform active control actions. No other use can perform measurements or change settings.
    Note: A remote user signed in as an Admin can take away active control of the device from a non-               Admin user.

A user has active control when they:

  • Change a setting
  • Start a measurement
  • Tap the blue cloud icon

Control status transitions:

  • If the color changes from blue to orange (a), someone else has taken control of the device.
  • If the color changes from orange to blue (b), someone else has released control of the device.
  • If the color changes from green to blue (c), you no longer have active control of the device due to:
    • The device being disconnected
    • The device timing out
    • You have released active control by clicking the cloud icon
  • If the color changes from blue to green (d), you have performed an active control action and taken
    control of the device.
  • If the color changes from green to orange (e), an Admin has taken over active control of the device.
  • If the color changes from orange to green (f), you (as an Admin) have taken over active control of the device.

CAUTION: USAGE OF HTTP:// OR HTTPS:// WITH A SELF-SIGNED CERTIFICATE MAY CAUSE SECURITY RISKS
In order to provide out-of-the-box functionality, the DOSE-X is delivered with the option to either use http:// or https:// with a self-signed certificate for the remote connection.

Please note, neither option provides the full level of cybersecurity and may thus cause security risks. It is strongly recommended to secure the remote connection with TLS, using your own valid TLS certificate from your trusted certification provider.

 

Import Certificates

To ensure a secure and encrypted network connection the user can import a TLS Certificate.

  • Acquire the TLS key and host certificate for the DOSE-X from your IT department (intermediate
    certificates are optional).
    The intermediate certificates (if any), the host certificate, and the key (host key) for the DOSE-X need to be concatenated to a single file, in *.pem format.

    Example TLS certificate
  • Tap the Import Certificates button to open the TLS Certificate page. 
  • Tap the Upload button to upload the certificate file.
  • Tap Save to confirm the upload.
  • Once the file has been uploaded to the DOSE-X, please check that the correct certificate is being used by accessing the DOSE-X remotely. To check the certificate validity, in the browser, simply click on the lock icon next to the device address.

    Example of a secure connection with a valid certificate

 

Reset or change the certificate:

  • Tap the Reset button to remove the previously imported certificate.
    Please note, if a new certificate is not uploaded, the device will reset to the self-signed certificate it came with from the factory.
  • Tap Save to confirm the reset.
  • Repeat the certificate upload procedure with the new certificate.
