6.1.1 Accessing Remote LANs Using an Internet Server on the Remote Site
Figure 175. Connection Using Internet Server
A prerequisite for this solution is that you have a registered Internet server
installed at your remote location.
On this Internet server the TME 10 NetFinity Manager code must also be
installed to enable the access to the server using TME 10 NetFinity. You need to
be aware of this fact, because it may reduce the number of possible Internet
servers. Some operating systems are not supported by the TME 10 NetFinity
Manager.
Because the logical address for this server is known in the Internet, you can
access this server by its Internet address (for example, WWW.IBM.COM) or its
Internet TCP/IP address. After accessing this Internet server you can use its
TME 10 NetFinity manager function to access the other workstations in the
remote LAN. In case you have a firewall installed in your Internet server, you
are still able to access the TME 10 NetFinity Manager on the Internet server
using the Internet. You are then able to access the LAN using TME 10 NetFinity.
Always keep in mind, that you have to carefully configure the access rights to
the manager code on the Internet server from the Web site. See 6.2,
“Configuration of the Web Manager” on page 151 for details on the Web
configuration, as well as configuring the access rights using the Security
Manager of TME 10 NetFinity. You should always define the Web access to the
