# Configuring Pro-face Connect

When you want to display or operate on a personal computer or tablet, the screens of display units in remote locations, you need a system that can prevent unauthorized access from external sources.

With Pro-face Connect serving the role of router, as long as you have an Internet connection, you can construct such a system.

Pro-face Connect is structured to connect display units on the work site (SiteManager), with computers or tablets in the office (LinkManager), over a server (GateManager).

Note:

- For information on the models which support the Pro-face Connect, see the following.
