ViPNet Manager is used to create the structure of your ViPNet network (linking servers and workstations) as well as key sets and passwords for each ViPNet network node. Key sets participate in establishing protected connections and are necessary for installing ViPNet Coordinator and ViPNet Client on ViPNet nodes.
It is not necessary for the ViPNet Manager workstation to be constantly available on the network because the program is mainly used to create the initial structure of the network and key sets, and thereafter only occasionally as part of the network's ongoing maintenance. To establish connections with other ViPNet nodes and to be able to send out key sets in the process of administering the network, ViPNet Client must also be installed on ViPNet Manager workstation (this node is identified in ViPNet Manager by the
icon).
ViPNet Manager also allows you to retrieve configuration backups and remotely update the ViPNet network with ViPNet software updates.
