Appendix H.
The DSA-3600 is equipped with IPSec VPN feature starting from release v1.00. To utilize IPSec VPN supported by
Microsoft Windows XP SP2 (with patch) and Windows 2000 operating systems, the DSA-3600 implements IPSec
VPN tunneling technology between client's windows devices and the DSA-3600 itself regardless of wired or wireless
network.
By pushing down ActiveX to the client's Windows device from the DSA-3600, no extra client software is required to
be installed except ActiveX, in which a so-called "clientless" IPSec VPN setting is then configured automatically. At
the end of this setup, a build-in IPSec VPN feature will be enabled and ready to serve once it is launched for setup.
The goal of this design is to eliminate the configuration difficulty from IPSec VPN users. At the client side, the IPSec
VPN implementation of the DSA-3600 is based on ActiveX and the built-in IPSec VPN client of Windows OS.
