Appendix D - Interactions with Other Magnia SG20
Server Features

There are limitations and conditions for certain Magnia SG20 server features when using
the following:

Modem connections

Firewall

Backup/Restore

Account Management

Modem Connections

VPN is a feature designed for use with broadband Internet connections. As a result, it is
incompatible with configurations where the Magnia SG20 uses a dial-out ISP connection.
If you attempt to enable VPN on a Magnia SG20 configured to use a modem-based dial-
out ISP, you will receive a message indicating that the VPN cannot be enabled with the
current Internet connection. If you enable the VPN with a broadband Internet connection,
and then decide to change the Magnia SG20 Internet configuration to use a dial-out ISP
connection, the VPN will be disabled.

Firewall

The VPN feature does not require any manual changes to your firewall. When you use
the VPN, your firewall remains enabled, protecting your local network and server.
Enabling the VPN opens a communication port in the firewall that is used only by the
VPN software. This opening is secure because the VPN software is the only system
software that responds to activity transmitted through this port. The port is automatically
closed when the VPN is disabled.

Backup/Restore

The backup and restore features are fully operational when using the VPN. You can
access these features, modify schedules, and start manual backups from a client
accessing the server through a VPN connection. However, the Magnia SG20 cannot see
shared drives on a client computer accessing the network through the VPN. This
prevents backups from being configured on shared drives which are located on a client
computer accessing the server through the VPN.
