Q Can I make a connection using PC Anywhere, VNC, or any other
remote access program through to a remote client using the Alpha-
Shield™ device?
A No! Remote access programs will not function or will not allow
connection from the outside network via the AlphaShield™ to the
computer.
Q Can I telecommute and make a remote connection using PC
Anywhere or VNC from the computer port side via the Alpha-
Shield™ to the outside world?
A Yes! If you wish to make a remote connection from the client or
computer side of the AlphaShield™ to a remote site using remote
application software such as PC Anywhere, the AlphaShield™ will
allow this type of connection. The other end must not have a secu-
rity device such as the AlphaShield™ in line with the associated
computer.
Q Can I have multiple iterations of my browser running with multiple
sessions?
A Yes! The AlphaShield™ keeps track of all concurrent sessions initi-
ated from the computer side of the network and considers them as
valid user sessions. Once a disconnect occurs, by either a timeout
or by a manual disconnect, all current stateful session connections
are lost and must be re-established after the connect button is
depressed.
Q Will AlphaShield™ operate behind an existing firewall to provide
additional security?
A Yes! Many firewalls are difficult to configure and may not even be
providing the proper security expected. AlphaShield™ will ensure a
high degree of security, no matter where installed within the net
work topology.
