NetOp Remote Control for Windows

NetOp Gateway is a special version of the NetOp Host module designed to act as a dedicated routing mechanism for NetOp remote-control traffic. This module is typically used as a single dial-in point, allowing guest users to access networked hosts via a central routing system.

Gateway lets you control multiple PCs using multiple protocols. It is possible to route calls from one protocol on your network to another, and vice-versa. It also includes the option to initiate multiple sessions through a firewall with only one TCP port open. The system also offers excellent security features – access to the routing mechanism for Guests using dial-in can be protected with local NetOp authentication and centralised authentication using Windows NT SAM database and Microsoft Active Directory (Windows version).

What’s more, Gateway is the perfect tool to provide remote access to networked client PCs, or your own office PC. Gateway can route calls via another Gateway, making it possible for guest and host users relying on different communication protocols to access each other anywhere in the world. Gateway is available for OS/2 and Windows operating systems.

The Windows version of the NetOp Gateway is capable of routing from a networking protocol to a dial-up protocol. This permits a guest on the network to dial out using a modem on the Gateway and thereby reaches a remote host via modem or ISDN without having such a device on the guest computer.

Feature overview
Easy access to all networked PCs via a single routing point, scan the network for available host PCs, access users from one Gateway to another, supports incoming calls via dial-up (modem, ISDN or APPC – OS/2 only) or across networks (IPX, NetBIOS and TCP/IP), data is compressed for maximum performance, full firewall security, log remote-control activity locally on PCs or centrally on a NetOp Security Server.
