• For users running other browsers, the appliance automatically provides Translated Web access. If you
would rather not install an agent or your users' systems don't support ActiveX, you can configure the
appliance to provide Translated Web access.
• As an alternative to Translated Web access, which may have limitations with some Web applications such
as AJAX, custom port mapping or custom FQDN mapping can be used. These methods involve mapping
the backend resource either to a port on the EX‐Series appliance, or to an external fully qualified domain
name.
The SMA appliance also supports Web‐based access to Windows Terminal Services (WTS) and Citrix hosts. These
hosts are accessed by Web‐based terminal agents that use proprietary protocols to communicate with the
terminal server.

Network Explorer
Network Explorer is a Web‐based extension, accessible from WorkPlace, that provides access to any Windows
file system resources that the user has permission to use (even from desktop browsers on non‐Windows
platforms). These resources can include servers, computers, workgroups, folders, and files.
Connect Tunnel Client
Connect Tunnel is an application that provides broad access to network resources from devices running a
Windows, Macintosh, or Linux operating system. It provides access to any IP‐based type of application protocol
and ICMP, and it will route VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) over TCP/IP. Connect Tunnel is initially installed
from the WorkPlace portal or from a separate installer package.
OnDemand Tunnel Agent
The OnDemand Tunnel agent is lightweight, Web‐based, and provides the same broad access to applications
and protocols as Connect Tunnel. It is similar in all respects to Connect Tunnel except that it is activated each
time a user logs in to the WorkPlace portal from an ActiveX or Java‐enabled device.
Mobile Connect App
SonicWall Mobile Connect provides fast, safe, easy‐to‐use secure mobile access to resources from a range of
device platforms, including iOS, Android, Mac OS X, and Windows on both smart phones and tablets. Mobile
