Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure
transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private
Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks. PPTP supports on-demand, multi-
protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet.
The ZyXEL device supports only one PPTP server connection at any given time. To
configure a PPTP client, you must configure the User Name and Password fields for
a PPP connection and the PPTP parameters for a PPTP connection.
Type the user name given to you by your ISP.
Type the password associated with the User Name above.
Type your password again to make sure that you have entered it correctly.
Select Nailed-Up Connection if you do not want the connection to time out.
This value specifies the time in seconds that elapses before the ZyXEL device
automatically disconnects from the PPTP server.
Type the (static) IP address assigned to you by your ISP.
The ZyXEL device will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP
address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet
mask computed by the ZyXEL device.
Type the IP address of the PPTP server.
Type your identification name for the PPTP server.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyXEL device.
