In the scenario shown in figure 11, Quantum highly recommends using
virtual private network (VPN) software to control access to the Scalar
i2000. VPNs offer authentication and encryption services to protect data
transmissions and determine who can access a corporate network. By
using VPN, the LMC client appears to be inside the firewall and have
unrestricted access when communicating with the library.
While a VPN is recommended, customers could use port blocking to
provide access. In this instance, the following firewall requirements must
exist:
• Inbound access to port 1099 (Java RMI server port)
• Stateful access control – used with most web technologies (for
example, web mail) to enable a server to communicate with the client
that started the connection
