1.1.1 Network Resource Access Methods

As a remote user, you can access resources on the ZyWALL's local network using one of the
following methods.
• Using a web browser
Once you have successfully logged in through the ZyWALL, you can access any intranet
site, web-based applications or web-based e-mails using a supported web browser. You do
not have to install or pre-launch any application on your computer.
• Using the ZyWALL SecuExtender client
Once you have successfully logged into the ZyWALL, the ZyWALL automatically loads
the ZyWALL SecuExtender client program to your computer. With the ZyWALL
SecuExtender, you can access servers, remote desktops and manage files as if you were on
the local network. See
