The Connectivity Suite is not only a software but also a network infrastructure. This means that when installing the software, you install a network infrastructure that must be integrated into your existing network. When the software is installed, the Connectivity Suite automatically sets up an OpenVPN network. Whenever a Device is connected with the Connectivity Suite this Device will be integrated in the OpenVPN Network of the Connectivity Suite. The Fig. 1.1 shows a simplified representation of the Connectivity Suite infrastructure.
