System information

ask you to define a specific connection within your network for this access.
This means, that you may have to install and define a gateway for this
connection at a fixed phone number/connection and you might only be able
to access this remote LAN using the service provider only through this
defined connection. This might also gives you more security for your
connection. Please check with your service provider on these details. For
example, we checked with CompuServe to see if this is possible.
CompuServe assured us that this is not a problem but you have to apply for
this connection, which might not be free of charge.
5. The gateway workstation which is connected to the service providers
network also has the TME 10 NetFinity manager code installed.
6. The TME 10 NetFinity manager at the Internet gateway workstation has
proper security configuration set up, so that the local managing workstation
is allowed to access this system. See 6.2, “Configuration of the Web
Manager” on page 151 for details on how to set up the configuration.
6.1.3 Accessing Remote LANs Using an Internet TCP/IP Address
Figure 177. Connection Using Internet TCP/IP Address
A prerequisite for this way of accessing the remote site is that you have an
Internet TCP/IP address available and configured for your managing workstation
in the remote LAN. These TCP/IP addresses can be received from a service
provider. This workstation has to have a way to be accessed over the Internet.
You access this remote workstation and therefore the LAN behind it by using the
TCP/IP address instead of accessing a WWW server name. There are some
prerequisites which have to be solved, before monitoring the remote LAN:
1. All workstations have at least one supported network device driver installed.
2. All workstations connected to the remote LAN have at least the TME 10
NetFinity Services installed.
3. One system, which is also connected to the remote LAN, has been
configured with an appropriate Internet TCP/IP address, which has been
