Once your connected, you can perform a wide range of tasks as if you’re actually using the computer in person.
How to close my desktop?

What is spacewire used for?
SpaceWire is a spacecraft onboard communications network used to connect together electronic sub-systems like sensors, mass-memory, processors, control and telemetry/telecommand units. SpaceWire provides high bandwidth communication using point-to-point links between sub-systems or networked interconnection using routing switches to forward packets of data across the network. SpaceWire has a simple interface which can be readily implemented in a range of different chip technologies including Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The SpaceWire standard defines “links, nodes and routers.” It does not define any higher level communications standards for operating over the SpaceWire network other than straightforward packet encapsulation. This paper describes the Remote Memory Access Protocol for SpaceWire which provides a standard method of reading and writing to registers and memory within a SpaceWire unit by sending a command and where appropriate receiving a reply across the network.
What is RMAP in space?
The remote memory access protocol (RMAP) provides a means for one SpaceWire node to write to and read from memory inside another SpaceWire node. The aim of the RMAP protocol is to standardize the way in which SpaceWire units are configured and to provide a low-level mechanism for the transfer of data between two SpaceWire nodes. For example RMAP may be used to configure a camera or a mass memory device. The camera device may then write image data to allocated areas of memory in the mass memory, or the mass memory may read image data from the camera.
