The mandated and most secure method of remotely
accessing the Metasys system is to use a VPN infrastructure. If an existing VPN
infrastructure is present on the site already, the risks and security concerns have been
established and addressed. Using a VPN, the Metasys system features are the same as if
remote users are on the company intranet. The one restriction is that the Metasys system
does not support Secure Socket Layer (SSL) VPN.
Important: Do not
connect Metasys directly to the Internet. You must use a VPN to securely communicate
across the Internet to a Metasys system.
