ZyWALL USG 1000 User’s Guide

This chapter introduces secure network access and gives an overview of the remote user 
screens on the ZyWALL. 

The ZyWALL provides secure connections to network resources such as applications, files, 
intranet sites or e-mail through a web-based interface and using Microsoft Outlook Web 
Access (OWA). 
The following figure shows a network example where a remote user (A) logs into the 
ZyWALL from the Internet to access the web server (WWW) on the local network.  

Figure 218   Network Example 

As a remote user, you can access resources on the local network using one of the following 
methods. 

• Using a supported web browser 

Once you have successfully logged in through the ZyWALL, you can access any intranet 
site, web-based applications or web-based e-mails using one of the supported web 
browsers. 

• Using the Java thin clients

The ZyWALL automatically loads Java thin client programs to your computer after a 
successful login. With the thin clients, you can access servers, remote desktops and 
manage files as if you were on the local network. 

The following lists the browser and computer system requirements for remote user access.
