# Create remote access points

Remote Tuxedo access points provide configuration information to connect a WTC server to available remote Tuxedo domains. To create a remote Tuxedo access point:

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the Administration Console, expand Interoperability and select WTC Servers.
3. On the WTC Servers page, select the name of the WTC server on which you want to create remote access points.
4. Select Configuration > Remote APs.
5. On the WTC Remote Access Points page, click New.
6. In Access Point, enter the unique name used to identify this remote Tuxedo access point. This name should be unique for all local and remote Tuxedo access points defined within a WTC server.
7. In Access Point ID, enter the connection principal name used to identify this remote Tuxedo access point when attempting to establish a session connection to local Tuxedo access points.
8. In Local Access Point, enter the local domain name from which this remote Tuxedo domain is reached.
9. In Network Address, enter the network address and port number of this remote Tuxedo access point. Specify the TCP/IP address in the format: `//hostname:port_number or //#.#.#.#:port_number`.
10. If your remote domain connection uses RMI/IIOP, configure the Federation URL and Federation Name attributes for your environment.
11. Click OK.
12. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
    Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
