How to Create a VPN between Wi-Point 3G and Sonicwall
________________________________________________________________________
Scenario
Digi Wi-Point 3G is used for remote site connectivity. The primary site is using a
Sonicwall VPN appliance. The two networks need to be connected, and the data needs to
be encrypted between them.
Theory of Operation
A remote location needs to be able to build a secure tunnel between the main site and a
remote branch. One location is using a Digi Wi-Point 3G gateway to provide primary
internet connectivity. The other location is using a Sonicwall VPN appliance for primary
site connectivity. AVPN tunnel will be created to the Digi Wi-Point 3G gateway,
creating a secure connection for data to pass through.

Carrier Plan and PC / VPN Appliance Requirements
Digi Wi-Point 3G Requirements: Firmware version must be 1.1.34-8 or later. To
download the latest firmware, go to http://www.digi.com/support.
GSM GPRS/EDGE APN Type needed: VPN and GRE end-points usually require static
(persistent) IP addresses and must support mobile terminated data connections. If mobile
termination is not an option with your current APN, you will need to acquire a new one
that does support mobile termination.
CDMA networks may also require special plans to provide static IP addresses and
support mobile terminated data connections.
Check with your wireless provider on the available plan types.
