Remote Access Clients provide a simple and secure way for endpoints to connect
remotely to corporate resources over the Internet, through a VPN tunnel. This release includes these new features and enhancements:
• Windows 8 Ready This release supports client installation on windows 8 (consumer preview) OS
32/64 bit.
• Intel Smart Connect Technology When Intel Smart connect technology is enabled, the Remote Access client
reconnects to the VPN automatically (based on the authentication method and
configuration).
• Desktop Firewall Monitoring Powerful command line packet monitoring utility (PacketMon.exe) that inspects
traffic handled by the Desktop Firewall.
• Disable Secure Domain Logon (SDL) on LAN/Encryption domain - The client will
automatically disable SDL when the endpoint client is connected to an internal
network. This decision is based on the Location Awareness feature or if the
endpoint client has an IP address in an encryption domain.
• Location-Based Policy Support for Desktop Firewall Adds location awareness support for the Desktop Firewall using these policies:
• Connected Policy - Enforced when VPN is connected. • In House Policy - Enforced when VPN is disconnected and Location Awareness
sees that the endpoint computer is on an internal network. • Disconnected Policy - Enforced when the VPN is not connected and Location
Awareness sees that the endpoint computer is not on an internal network.

No Office Mode functionality for improved ATM connectivity.
