The Virtual Office page is accessible when a virtual office has been started. This page is the administrative page for each virtual office. From here, you can manage and administer the virtual office.
The main sections of the Virtual Office View page are:
-
Device List
- This section displays all protected devices under the Client as well as the device states. The three device states are explained below.
-
Configure Office
- This button launches the Virtual Office Configuration page where you can configure various aspects of the Virtual Office.
-
Virtual Office Summary
- This section displays information about how long the Virtual Office has been running.
Status definitions
A device will be listed in one of the following states:
- The Offline state indicates that the VMs have yet to be rendered. To render a device, click the Render button.
- The Ready state indicates that the VMs have been rendered. This means that you have allocated CPU cores and RAM to the VM. You can optionally click the Start button to start a device and make it accessible.
- The Running state indicates that the VMs are live and accessible through a VNC or RDP agent. You can optionally click the Stop button to return the device to a Ready state, log in to access the VM using the built-in web VNC agent, or click the Discard button to return the device to an Offline state.

- VNC clients can be any available (unused) IP address in the Virtual Office.
- VNC clients typically use the Virtual Office Gateway address, so a separate IP address is not necessary. However, when testing a Cloud Failover while the original gateway is still active, an alternative IP address should be specified.
- Enable the Outbound Access option to allow outbound access to the Internet.
- Enabling Internet connectivity allows both outbound and inbound messages between external devices and the server VMs in the Virtual Office.
- Disabling outbound access means that only devices within the Virtual Office communicate with each other.
- Add an additional subnet by clicking the +Add Another link.
DHCP settings
DHCP is not enabled by default but can be configured to work in the Virtual Office environment. Please note that the DHCP applies only to virtualized devices and not for remote user IP addresses that are assigned through the VPN settings.

Configure VM auto-shutoff
During a calendar year, each x360Recover protected system receives 30 days of free virtualization in x360Recover Virtual Office.
All virtual machines (VMs) in a Virtual Office test will be automatically shut off after the duration you configure in the auto-shutoff settings.
You can monitor, stop, or extend this automatic VM shutoff date at any time in the Virtual Office (Test) details page.
- If a VM is automatically shut off, its data is preserved until the entire Virtual Office is discarded.
- You are still able to manually turn on a VM that was automatically turned off.
- A Virtual Office test will automatically be discarded 30 days after all VMs (inside that Virtual Office test) remain shut off for 30 days.
- Time accrues for each VM (against its free Virtual Office allowance) only while the VM is running.
- If a VM runs longer than its allotted free time, a daily rate will be charged for each day the VM continues to run past its free allotment.
