InTouch is an easy way to reach any device (connected to your network) that you need to view, configure, or troubleshoot remotely.

Out-of-Band management

So, InTouch could also be used as a tool to access other Peplink devices, like this HD1 Dome. Because this doesn't have a WAN port, so if there is anything wrong with the cellular WAN, we need to access that remotely. So, we will show you how that works via InControl and InTouch. So, this also works with IP phones or any other IT device with a web interface. In the HD1 Dome case, we have an issue with the cellular WAN and because we have this SDX Pro in InControl, we have the option to enable the LAN port back from a WAN port in the web interface and add the HD1 Dome to the InTouch device list.
