  • Search and Filters — Search by hostname, username, IP address, and other criteria
  • Device Details — Click a hostname to view hardware information such as CPU, memory, and storage
  • Bulk Actions — Perform actions on multiple devices at once
  • Role Settings — Set devices as either clients or operators
Roles (Client / Operator)
  • Client — A regular user device that is monitored and displayed to an operator

Bulk Actions

Difference Between One-Time Login and Auto Login
  • One-Time Login — Logs in once with the specified account
  • Auto Login — Logs in automatically on subsequent sessions

To Use Power On (Wake-on-LAN)
・Wake-on-LAN must be enabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings
・The network adapter must be configured to allow Wake on LAN via magic packet
・The target device must be connected via wired LAN
・If the target device is on a different subnet from the server, at least one Remotto client on the same subnet as the target device must be running to relay the signal

Login User Settings

When using one-time login or auto login, you must register login user information.
Login user registration can be processed in bulk using a CSV file.

Import Procedure
  1. Download the CSV template from the “Devices” screen in the Admin Console.
  2. Edit the username and password columns in the downloaded CSV file.
  3. Upload the edited CSV file and import it.
CSV Format

Group Management

You can manage devices by group and apply delivery quality and restriction settings collectively.

端末をグループ単位で管理し、配信品質や制限設定をまとめて適用できます。

  • Group Creation — Create a group by entering a name and description
  • Group Editing — Change the name, description, and delivery quality
  • Group Deletion — Delete groups that are no longer needed

Streaming Delivery Settings

You can configure streaming quality for both client devices and operator devices on a per-group basis.

Delivery Quality
Resolutionnative / 1920×1080 / 1280×720 / 854×480 / 640×360This sets the resolution of the streamed video. Selecting native matches the device’s desktop resolution, but it may increase bandwidth usage.
FPS1〜30 fpsThis is the number of frames per second. Lowering the value reduces bandwidth usage.
Bitrate500〜5000 kbpsThis is the maximum video bitrate. Increasing the value improves image quality but also increases bandwidth usage.

Print Management

You can track the number of printed pages per user and set print limits.

  • Print Limit per User — Total maximum number of pages each user can print
  • Per-Job Print Limit — Set a maximum number of pages per print job to prevent excessive printing
  • Print Logs — Record when, by whom, what was printed, and how many pages were printed (including document name and printer name)
  • Default Print Limit — The default page limit applied to new users during LDAP/AD synchronization (0 = unlimited)
  • CSV Export — Export print history as CSV
  • Block Notifications — When printing is blocked, a balloon notification is shown on the client device explaining the reason (page limit exceeded / job limit exceeded)

Printed page counts are calculated based on the number of pages sent by the application. For example, even if a 10-page document is printed double-sided, it is counted as 10 printed pages.

Email Notification Templates

You can send notifications to registered email addresses when printing is approaching its limit or has reached the limit.

Notification Types
TypeSend Timing
Warning EmailWhen usage reaches the configured threshold (default: 80%)
Limit Reached EmailWhen usage reaches the limit and printing is restricted
Available Placeholders

The following placeholders can be used in the email body:

PlaceholderDescriptionExample
{username}Target user nameuser01
{used_pages}Number of pages already used85
{limit_pages}Configured page limit100
{remaining_pages}Remaining printable pages15

By embedding these placeholders in the body, user-specific information is automatically reflected.

Subject: 【Printing limit is approaching】

Body:
{username}

Your printing allowance is nearly exhausted.

Used: {used_pages} pages
Limit: {limit_pages} pages
Remaining: {remaining_pages} pages
Printing will be blocked once the limit is reached.
If you have any questions, please contact the administrator.

Note When Using winget (Windows Package Manager)

Because the Remotto client processes HTTPS traffic through a local proxy, certificate validation may fail when using the Microsoft Store source (msstore) with winget.
When installing software with winget, use the --source winget option.

winget install <package-name> --source winget
