Remote Control Workstation Setup

Place the control workstation within USB cable reach of the rack hub uplink — typically 1–2 m with an active extension if needed.

Android racks: install platform-tools (ADB) and verify each slot maps to a stable device ID using the slot label sheet from your packing list.

iPhone racks: use a macOS control station with Xcode or your preferred iOS device management toolchain — iPhones are buyer-supplied.

Enable remote desktop or SSH only on the control PC, not on individual phones, to keep the attack surface small.

PhoneFarm ICU offers a Remote Control Setup SKU for cable routing verification and first-boot detection — useful for new labs without on-site hardware staff.

For ongoing support, share hub port maps and photos via WhatsApp or Telegram when reporting disconnect issues.
