Setting up networked mode (Internet
with IPSec VPN)
Your Matrox Extio 3 over Internet allows multiple users, from different locations, to securely access
and control the same system and collaborate on the same tasks. In Networked-Internet with IPSec
VPN mode, an Extio 3 device is ensured a safe connection via an IPSec VPN client that allows the
communication to be private and offers multi-factor authentication.
