DESCRIPTION
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 is 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.
Select this option If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. This is the
default selection.
Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address.
Type the (static) IP address assigned to you by your ISP.
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.
Select this option If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. This is the
default selection.
Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address.
Enter your WAN IP address in this field if you selected Use Fixed IP Address.
Enter the remote IP subnet mask in this field.
This field sets this route's priority among the routes the ZyXEL Device uses.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best
route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing
uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly
connected networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number
greater than "15" means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower
the "cost".
