Use of the SINEMA Remote Connect server
The SINEMA RC Server provides end-to-end connection management of distributed
networks via the Internet. This also includes secure remote access to underlying networks
for maintenance, control and diagnostics purposes. The communication between SINEMA
RC Server and the remote participants is via a VPN tunnel taking into account the stored
access rights. The connection is established encoded using IPsec or OpenVPN.
The SINEMA RC Server can be configured via the Web Based Management (WBM).
The connection via the Internet/WAN to the WBM uses the HTTPS protocol. To establish a
connection to the WBM of the server, users must log on by entering a user name and
password or with a Smartcard.
