PPTP Connection - LAN to LAN
Connection Name: User-defined description of the connection.
Type: Select Dial Out if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a remote VPN server,
e.g. your office server) or select Dial In operates as a VPN server.
When configuring your router as a Client, enter the remote Server IP Address (or Hostname)
you wish to connection to.
When configuring your router as a server, enter the Private IP Address Assigned to Dial in
User address.
Peer Network IP: Enter Peer network IP address.
Netmask: Enter the subnet mask of peer network based on the Peer Network IP setting.
Username: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the username provided by your Host.
Dial-In user (server), enter your own username.
Password: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the password provided by your Host. If you are a
Dial-In user (server), enter your own password.
PPP Authentication Type: Default is Auto. Retain this setting if you want the router to determine the
authentication type to use, or else manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication
Protocol) or PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which type the server is using (when
acting as a client), When acting as a server, select the authentication type you want clients connecting to
you to use. When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, whilst CHAP encrypts the password
before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods to ensure that the original client has
not been replaced by an intruder.
Data Encryption: Data sent over the VPN connection can be encrypted by an MPPE algorithm. Default is
Auto, so that this setting is negotiated when establishing a connection. Alternatively, you can manually
Enable or Disable encryption.
Key Length: The data can be encrypted by MPPE algorithm with 40 bits or 128 bits. Default is Auto,
which negotiates the that is used when establishing a connection. 128 bit keys provide stronger
encryption than 40 bit keys.
Mode: You may select Stateful or Stateless mode. The key will be changed every 256 packets when you
select Stateful mode. If you select Stateless mode, the key will be changed in each packet.
Idle Time: Auto-disconnects the VPN connection when there is no activity on the connection for a
predetermined period of time. 0 means this connection is always on.
