Accessing a remote system, with a static IP address and a router

I have setup a friend with a static IP address at his work. At his work he
has a router with several machines attached to it. His machine has been
given a static IP address by the router.

How, from his home address does he get through his router to get to his
machine on his desk at work? I am guessing I need to use port forwarding,
on his router at work (say, by assigning port 50247 to his machine). But
how, from his home machine does he make contact with his machine on his desk
at work, from home?

Thanks.
