Managing Remote Access to the HAFM Server
Users at the HAFM server can open the HAFM and Product Managers loaded on the
server itself. Users at remote PC workstations can also access the same HAFM server
or other HAFM servers if the workstations meet minimum hardware and software
requirements and are running the HAFM application. Workstations must also be
configured to connect with the HAFM server over a TCP/IP network connection.

server through a LAN. Please note that this is an example configuration only.
Operators at remote workstations can manage and monitor all products controlled by
the HAFM server. Each active connection between a remote workstation and an
HAFM server and managed products is called a session. A maximum of nine
concurrent remote users (eight remote and one local HAFM server user) can log in to
the HAFM application.
Requirements for Remote Workstations
The HAFM is downloaded and installed on user workstations from the HAFM server.
The remote workstations can be Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows
XP, HP-UX, AIX, Linux, or Solaris systems.
For the minimum system requirements for remote workstations, refer to the appendix
in this guide for the appropriate operating system:
