LANCOM 1751 UMTS
Chapter 7: Providing dial- in access
7 Providing dial-in access
Your LANCOM UMTS Router can be set up with dial-in access accounts enab-
ling individual computers to dial-in to your LAN and fully participate in the
network for the duration of the connection. This service is called RAS (Remote
Access Service).
On the accompanying CD, LANCOM Systems offers a 30-day test version of
the LANCOM Advanced VPN Client for dialing-in to a network via VPN. A pre-
cise description of the VPN client and notes on its setup are also to be found
on the CD.
VPN accesses for employees who dial into the network with the LANCOM
Advanced VPN Client are very easy to set up with the Setup Wizard and expor-
ted to a file. This file can then be imported as a profile by the LANCOM Advan-
ced VPN Client. All of the information about the LANCOM UMTS Router's
configuration is also included, and then supplemented with randomly gene-
rated values (e.g. for the preshared key).

When setting up the VPN access, certain settings are made to optimize ope-
rations with the LANCOM Advanced VPN Client, including:
54
Use LANconfig to start the 'Set up a RAS Account' wizard and select the
'VPN connection'.
Activate the options 'LANCOM Advanced VPN Client' and 'Speed up con-
figuration with 1-Click-VPN'.
Enter a name for this access and select the address under which the router
is accessible from the Internet.
In the final step you can select how the access data is to be entered:
Save profile as an import file for the LANCOM Advanced VPN Client
Send profile via e-mail
Print out profile
Sending a profile via e-mail could be a security risk should the e-mail
be intercepted en route!
To send the profile via e-mail, the device configuration must be set up
with an SMTP account with the necessary access data. Further, the
configuration computer requires an e-mail program that is set up as
the standard e-mail application and that can be used by other appli-
cations to send e-mails.
