As we have been testing our multi-site cloud network for the last 18 months, Release 5 cannoot be deployed without being connected to our private WAN and cloud infrastructure. This is required to remove the reliance of VPN (Virtual Private  Networking) for printing and access to deviices from both sites. Straight internet access is allow, but will be restricted to the desktop and laptop platform for printing. If connecting from a mobile device, printing cannot be achieved.
