# Remote configuration
Remote configuration requires the prop to be online and connected to the internet.
It offers the same full set of configuration options as Local mode, but allows you to manage the prop directly through the Ares Alpha app from anywhere in the world, as long as both your phone and the prop have internet access.
To access the prop's remote control, open the Ares Alpha app and navigate to the Props section. If the prop is online and remote control is enabled, a remote control button will appear in the bottom-right corner. This will give you access to the prop's remote commands:
* **Restart current game**: Prop points (for teams and players) will be preserved.
* **Reset game**: Prop points (for teams and players) will be cleared.
* **Reboot prop**: Restarts the prop’s hardware. It may take a few minutes for it to come back online and be manageable remotely, so please be patient.
* **Settings**: Full access to remote settings, just like in offline mode.
