Locating a client

The clients that reside in a different subnet are not included in the list of available clients. You can use the Find Machine option to locate and add such clients.

Checking communication through a firewall

When adding a client that resides outside the firewall, you can perform a firewall test to check if the server and client can communicate through the firewall. You can also perform this test to check connectivity for existing clients.

To check connectivity for existing clients, open the Manage Clients page. Select the client, and then click Firewall Test.
