6.2 PPTP Settings

For most companies, the PPTP server creates a se-
cure connection that a remote user can access a local
computer within the company. The remote user has to
run a PPTP client and connect to the PPTP server. The
PPTP server has to validate the remote user as being in
the User List in section 9.1. The server certifies the
PPTP client with a username and password. After pass-
ing the certification, the server will assign a private IP
address to the client. The remote user will be treated like
a member of the LAN and can access the local hosts
inside the company. To run the PPTP server on the local
side, please follow the steps below:
Local Side:
1. In PPTP Settings page: Select the Enable button in
the PPTP Server field. (Figure 6.2a).
2. Enter the private IP address of the server in the Server
IP Address field.
3. Enter the Client IP Range. The server will assign
the IP to each client within the range.
4. Click the Apply button.
