PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is a common connection method used for xDSL connections in Europe. It can be used to join different physical networks using the Internet as an intermediary.

If you have been provided with the information requested on the screen (Figure 31), enter the assigned IP address, subnet mask, default gateway IP address, user ID and password, and PPTP Gateway.

The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) governs the maximum size of the data packets. Leave this on the default value (1460) unless you have a particular reason to change it.

Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped. (Default: 10)

Enable the Auto-reconnect option to automatically re-establish the connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again.

Click Finish to complete the setup. (Refer to “Point-to-Point Tunneling” for additional details.
