Connect with WROAMS

WROAMS is a tool that provides remote access from your home PC to your work computer or network files.

How WROAMs works:

Using an app called Pulse Secure, a special network connection is used to connect your home PC to Western’s network securely. With this connection, you can either access your work PC or network files.

 Home PC    >     ROAMs (Pulse Secure app)  >    Work PC
 Or
 Home PC     >   ROAMs (Pulse Secure app)   >    Network Files

Setup WROAMs Using Pulse Secure app:

On your home PC: 

Go to this site to get the Pulse Secure software:

http://remote.uwo.ca/downloads/index.html .

Do NOT download it from the Microsoft Store.

This software connects your home PC to the Western network only.

You will have to remote into your work PC still (This is covered later in this doc).
