If a managed device is on a private network or is on the other side of a firewall or router that is using NAT (Network Address Translation), the remote management operation of the device can be routed through a remote management proxy. The proxy can be installed on a Windows managed device or a Linux device (Primary Server or Satellite Server). By default, the remote management proxy listens on port 5750.
For more information on Remote Management Proxy, see Section 1.4, Understanding Remote Management Proxy.
For information on the system requirements that a Windows managed device or a Linux device must meet to enable the proxy to be installed on the device, see System Requirements
