To use the IPSec features of the FVM318, you must have VPN client software installed on your
PC. The SafeNet SoftRemote Basic VPN client software included on the FVM318 Resource CD
provides a simple and very easy way to set up wireless VPN connections to the FVM318.
However, it only works with FVM318 wireless connections.
If you prefer the flexibility of using one VPN client software program for both your local wireless
connections and remote VPN connections, then you should consider the SoftRemoteLT client
which lets you pick from multiple configurations, depending on whether you are connecting over a
local wireless link to the FVM318 or remotely over the Internet. Instructions for configuring the
SoftRemote SoftRemoteLT for local wireless VPN connections to the FVM318 can be found at
"Using SoftRemoteLT Instead of SoftRemote Basic" on page
the SoftRemote SoftRemoteLT for remote VPN connections over the Internet to the FVM318 can
be found at "PC to LAN VPN access from a PC to an FVM318" on page
