channel from the caller. An ISDN ID generally consists of the country code
and an MSN.
The password for the ISDN connection is an alternative to the ISDN
calling line ID. This is used to authenticate the caller if no ISDN calling line
ID is received. The password must be entered identically at both ends. It
is used for calls in both directions.
The shared secret is the central password for the VPN connection's secu-
rity. It must be entered identically at both ends.
Data compression improves transmission speeds without incurring extra
costs. This is the completely different to the bundling of two ISDN chan-
nels by MLPPP (MultiLink-PPP): This doubles the bandwidth, although
this generally doubles the connection costs as well.

Settings for the TCP/IP router
In the TCP/IP network, correct addressing is of extreme importance. For net-
work connectivity, it should be observed that both networks are logically
separated. For this reason they require their own network number (e.g.
'10.0.1.x' and '10.0.2.x'). The two network numbers must be different.

Unlike with Internet access, network connectivity makes all of IP addresses
visible in all participating networks, including those in the remote LAN, and
not just that of the router. The computer with the IP address 10.0.2.10 in the
branch-office LAN sees the server 10.0.1.2 at the main office and, with the
appropriate rights, has access to it. The same applies in the other direction.
