DMZ/LAN Configuration
Using this configuration, the Telecommuting Module is located on the DMZ of your firewall, and connected to it with one of the interfaces. The other interfaces are connected to your internal networks. The Telecommuting Module can handle several networks on the internal interface even if they are hidden behind routers.
This configuration is used to enhance the data throughput, since the traffic only needs to pass your firewall once.

Standalone Configuration
Using this configuration, the Telecommuting Module is connected to the outside on one interface and your internal networks on the others.
Use this configuration only if your firewall lacks a DMZ interface, or for some other reason cannot be configured for the DMZ or DMZ/LAN alternatives.
