To learn about the basic schemes of using ViPNet OFFICE software, refer to the document Schemes of Using ViPNet.

For more information about ViPNet OFFICE components such as ViPNet Manager, ViPNet Coordinator and ViPNet Client, refer to the specific manuals on these programs.

This document is separated into two main sections: administrator and user.

The administrator section includes the following information:
