Using VPN
When a client computer is connected to the Magnia SG20 using VPN, the client is
capable of accessing virtually all of the same features as a computer that is connected
directly to the LAN. The following actions are available for all clients using VPN:
❖
File sharing - access personal and shared directories
❖
Printing - print to the shared printer
❖
Email - retrieve and send email messages
❖
Intranet - access the built-in Intranet Web site and shared areas on local client
computers
❖
System administration - the system administrator can access the Administration Web
site and manage the network from a remote site.

be placed on your hard drive for later use or it can be emailed as an attachment.
