# Jump Service

You can use the Remote.It application running on one device to access TCP services on other devices on the same LAN, without needing to install remoteit on those other devices. This is sometimes referred to as a **jump service/box.**

Best practice is to install remoteit on a device that will be available at all times. This is ideal in an AWS environment to have a since EC2 instance act as the gateway into the VPC.

This is typically done when the targeted resource is not compatible with Remote.It and it cannot be installed (e.g. a printer, hosted resources). [Learn more about jump services here.](https://link.remote.it/support/jumpbox)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.remote.it/features/connection-options/jump-service.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
