Remote Network to Office (LCL400)
Remote Gateway (non-AS400) is a gateway that is attached to an Ethernet
network. Remote Gateway could call LCL400 during the night to allow systems
on the Remote Gateway’s Ethernet network (192.68.2.0) to transfer files to
either LCL400 or its attached network. Remote Gateway also allows the
forwarding of mail to a mail server on the 192.68.2.0 network.
Configuring LCL400 for all Scenarios

From the General page, perform the following tasks:
v Specify a profile name (LCL400 for this example).
