# Create remote access points

Remote Tuxedo Access Points provide configuration information to connect a WTC Service 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 Service.
3. On the WTC Servers page, click the name of a WTC Service.
4. Click the Remote APs tab.
5. On the WTC Remote Access Points page, click New.
6. In the Access Point field, 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 Service.
7. In the Access Point ID field, 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 the Local Access Point field, enter the local domain name from which this remote Tuxedo domain is reached.
9. In the Network Address field, 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 Federation URL and Federation Name attributes for your environment.
11. Click Finish.
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).
