A virtual private network (VPN) is a private network that uses a
public network (Internet) to connect remote sites or users
together. These networks use encryption and other security
mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the
network and that data cannot be intercepted. The CK30 uses
the Microsoft CE .NET Remote Access Service (RAS) to set up
the VPN. You can configure the CK30 to use either Point-to-
Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) or Layer Two Tunneling
Protocol (L2TP).
PPTP is a network protocol that adds a security infrastructure
for the transfer of data from a remote CK30 to a private server,
thus creating a VPN by using TCP/IP-based data networks. Like
PPTP, L2TP also uses Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to encrypt
data. L2TP uses Internet Protocol Security Protocol (IPSec) to
enable a more secure VPN client connection from your CK30 to
a remote server.
IPSec supports the following settings:
• Public key certificates
• Pre-shared keys
