How to Create a VPN between a Wi-Point 3G and Linksys
________________________________________________________________________
Scenario
Digi Wi-Point 3G is used for primary internet connectivity at a remote site. The remote
site needs a way to get data to and from an office location.
Theory of Operation
A remote site needs to be able to retrieve and send data to an office location from its
Ethernet and Wi-Fi enabled devices. The way to do this will be to setup a VPN tunnel
between the Wi-Point 3G and the Linksys VPN appliance at the office location, to
provide a secure tunnel to the office location.

Carrier Plan and PC / VPN Appliance Requirements
Digi Wi-Point 3G Requirements: Firmware version 1.1.34-8 or later is installed. 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.
