   • Specify a name of the remote office (for example, Roaming Users)
   • Specify your Public IP Address as the Server IP Address
   • Select Communication Type as Direct Communication
   • Specify the communication interval and select Enable Secured Communication (HTTPS), if you want the communication to be secured

The agent will periodically contact the server, based on the communication interval you specified while creating the remote office. The default communication interval is 2 minutes.

You can now manage desktops of roaming users.
