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 interface is connected to your internal network. The Telecommuting Module
can handle several networks on the internal interface even if they are hidden behind routers. No networks on other
interfaces on the firewall can be handled.
This configuration is used to enhance the data throughput, since the traffic only needs to pass your firewall once.
This configuration can only support one local network.

Standalone Configuration
Using this configuration, the Telecommuting Module is connected to your internal network on one interface and the
outside world on the other.
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.
