89+ ## PASSTHROUGH
90+
91+ To enable the ` PASSTHROUGH ` option of Cumulocity Remote Access, nothing specific has to be done on the %%te%% device,
92+ beyond enabling the ` c8y-remote-access-plugin ` . This option has only to be enabled on your tenant when configuring remote access.
93+
94+ However, you will have to configure your local machine to fully leverage the ` PASSTHROUGH ` option.
95+ For that, the recommendation is to use the [ ` go-c8y-cli ` remoteaccess] ( https://c8y.app/docs/examples/remoteaccess/ ) command.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
