Summary:Remote users may have to connect to an office local area network (LAN) for a few different reasons. For example, people may need to exchange bundles of information with users at the office. To be successful, the remote application must be able to maintain high communication speed, provide an easy-to-use interface, and ensure additional levels of security. Network managers can set up either remote node or remote control as the default for certain applications and let the network users switch back and forth at will as they move application to application within Microsoft Windows. In the area of security, hardware barriers can include token verification and automated dial-back. Password protection is the most common security tool. Software tools include password inspection programs and automatic virus scanning. It is important to use the fastest modems available on both the client and server sides of the call.
