Configuring Remote Access using iPass (Long Distance)

iPass is a service that allows users to get Internet access while out on the road using local access numbers for whatever area they may be working from. This provides better quality of service, since you are dialing a local number for access instead of using the 800 number for access. It provides remote access in most parts of the world.

Also check the iPass FAQ at: http://www.whoi.edu/services/CIS/networking/remote_access/ipass_faq.html

iPass ONLY provides Internet connectivity. You will also need the VPN client for access to internal WHOI services (sending email, internal web pages, etc.)

In order to use iPass:

• You will need a WHOI Remote Access Account.
