26.1.2 Configuration
The Internet connection on the server is ensured by RemoteConnector server. This service can also be installed separately.
The RemoteConnector component comes standard activated for the SwyxServer and is also installed. The functionality of RemoteConnector has to be configured in the Swyx Connectivity Setup Tool, see
6 Swyx Connectivity Setup Tool.
The user's Internet connection is run through RemoteConnector Client. This service is integrated into clients and does not require any additional installation steps, see
26.1.3 Configuration of SwyxIt! Classic.
Port forwarding via router
In order for the query from SwyxIt! Classic out of the Internet to be forwarded to the RemoteConnector server on the company network, the forwarding needs to be configured on the company router (or NAT gateway) from the public "IP address:port" to the IP address of SwyxServer and TCP-Port 16203.
The following table illustrates an example configuration for a company network with only one public IP address:
Port forwarding to the authentication service
In addition to the port forwarding to the RemoteConnector, the port forwarding to the authentication service must also be configured on the company router.
Fig. 26-2: Establishing connections via authentication service
The "public IP address(:port)" combinations must be entered into the Client connection settings. SwyxIt! automatically uses port 9101 if you don't specify a port. If there is also a valid resolvable DNS name on the Internet for the public IP address, then you can also use that in in stead of the public IP address.
The following table illustrates an example configuration:
