documentation for the product or method you want to use. If you
already use one of these methods, no further setup is required.
●
Dial-up link
●
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
●
Opening a firewall port
Note: Do not set up any of these methods directly on a Kodak workflow server.
Kodak workflow server modems are specially configured for support purposes-
and are not intended for general remote control use. Always set up any remote
access method on a non-Kodak server and use the local network to access it.
Performance improves with available bandwidth (the faster, the
better). It is possible for remote Windows-based and Macintosh client
computers to achieve performance that equals the performance of on-
site computers.
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
A VPN uses a tunneling protocol to create a virtual, encrypted link over
another medium, usually the Internet, to connect two networks.
Instructions for setting up a Windows VPN are available at
Opening a firewall port
This method is useful only for accessing a Prinergy server via WTS.
Inbound connections on port 3389 can be allowed at the firewall,
enabling WTS access directly over the Internet.
This is the least desirable of the methods listed, because of potential
security risks. With careful application of firewall rules, this method
can be made reasonably secure. However, it is better to spend the time
and effort to configure a VPN server for a more secure and flexible
service.
Note: Running Prinergy Workshop remotely (without WTS) over a firewall is not
supported and is impossible to do securely. Prinergy Workshop is designed to run
on a LAN, with no firewall between it and the primary server. Using Prinergy
Workshop locally requires a direct, non-firewall connection to the remote LAN.

Prinergy Direct software serves these two specific situations:
●
Flat-based workflow where Prinergy Direct accepts imposed flats
created in Preps or other software.
●
Hub-and-spoke setup where Prinergy Direct imports jobs that were
exported from Kodak Prinergy Connect.
