Ditto on Eric's reply. Used by our professional help desk and systems staff and at remote school locations. Support - the users bring in their client devices and we test on a unit in our repair center. If there is anything wrong with the RAP, we replace it from spares and deal with the bad hardware in the shop.
Simple, useful and keeps our clients on our firewall and protected, like the rest of the campus.

And our own systems staff so they can tunnel in easily from home/travel to work on systems problems. We pay for all of them. The only issue we've had is one of the older units gets confused easily (a link to an outsourced support center on Prince Edward Island) so it's being replaced as we speak. - Eric Brewer Smith College On Fri, Mar 28, 2014 at 10:57 AM, Turner, Ryan H <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Can those of you that use Remote Access Points give me the common use cases that you are seeing them used, how you are charging for them, and support issues you generally receive from them? We are considering starting to do some RAP deployment here, and I'm wondering how much of a can of worms I am opening. Thanks!
