Using an iPad to connect to 1535w

Art_DeKneef — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 20:34:29 GMT

Using an Apple device to connect to the internal network is new to me. Thus the questions. Client is getting a new 1535W for their office that will be connected behind a Verizon business wireless device. This device has been in use for several months and works fine for this small office. About 5 users.

From what I can tell from reading the docs is that the VPN client to use with an iPad is the Capsule Workspace. One of the owners will be on vacation for 6 weeks and wants to connect to his Windows computer on the office network using his iPad.

All previous installs have used the Windows VPN client pretty much without any issues. So I'm asking if there are any issues I should be looking for or any suggestions to help ease my pain?

Thanks, Art

Is it managed through smart console or locally? Its pretty straight forward to set up office mode, so people can connect to the office. All you need is to follow below steps.

If its locally managed, I believe steps are in smb admin guide

The connection is just to the locally managed firewall. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything and looking for any insight from those who might have done this before.

Thanks, Art.

Its been some time since I did it myself, but if you follow 2nd document I gave, thats all you need to do really. Once config is there, just ensure policy allows access, thats it.
