3 Add a network shortcut referencing the domain on the WorkPlace Shortcuts page.
4 Make sure WorkPlace's Network Explorer tab is enabled (this is the default state).
5 Instruct your users to click the appropriate link to the file system resource in Network Explorer.
Broad Access to Network Resources
To give users comprehensive access to your network resources from devices that are owned and managed by
your organization, distribute the following clients, which run on a wide variety of devices:
• Connect Tunnel clients run on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux devices.
• The Mobile Connect client gives users with Windows Mobile‐powered devices access to both Web and
client/server applications.
To allow broad, "in‐office," access to your network:
1 Define a resource referencing your DNS domain on the Add/Edit Resource page.
2 Create a rule referencing the domain on the Add/Edit Access Rule page.
3 Configure and distribute the network tunnel clients to your users.
Remote Access for Mobile Users
There are two remote access solutions for mobile device users:
• WorkPlace Mobile is a Web portal that provides access to Web‐based applications from virtually any
mobile device with a functional Web browser. You also have the option of customizing the appearance of
the portal for mobile devices. For detailed information on this solution, see the "WorkPlace and Small
Form Factor Devices" section of the Installation and Administration Guide or the AMC online help.
• 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 Connect establishes encrypted SSL VPN connections to private networks that are
protected by SonicWall SMA or other SonicWall security appliances. The Mobile Connect app is
downloaded to a user's mobile device from the App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, or Windows
Store.
