Remote Control

The 825gen2 uses the Wayland graphics library. There is support for remote control available.

There is a "Remote Control" option in "Setup" "Setup Network Services". Set to "Yes" (On) to enable remote control.

To enable remote control from the terminal:

mkdir -p /etc/freerdp/keys/
winpr-makecert -rdp -path /etc/freerdp/keys/

Rename the generated keys to server.crt and server.key

Edit the /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini file and change the [screen-share] section to be like the following

[screen-share]
command=/usr/bin/weston --backend=rdp-backend.so --rdp-tls-cert=/etc/freerdp/keys/server.crt --rdp-tls-key=/etc/freerdp/keys/server.key --shell=fullscreen-shell.so --no-clients-resize
start-on-startup=true

Modify the Weston systemd service

ExecStart=/usr/bin/weston --modules=systemd-notify.so,screen-share.so

Remote connection may be achieved from Windows using remote desktop. Connect using the IP address of the 825, or any many network environments the 825's hostname may be used instead of the IP address. The hostname can be set after power up of indicator: "Legal metrology information / Setup", "Setup menu", "Communication", "Network", "Hostname".

From Linux running Wayland:

wlfreerdp /v:<ip>

From Linux running X11:

xfreerdp /v:<ip> /u:weston
