Billion BiPAC 8500/8501/8520/8521 SHDSL (VPN) Firewall Bridge/ Router
PPTP Connection - Remote Access(BiPAC 8500/ 8501/ 8520 Only)
•Connection Name: A
•Type: Check Dial Out if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a remote VPN server, e.g. your office server), check Dial In if you want the router to operate as a VPN server.
oWhen configuring your router as a Client, enter the remote Server IP Address (or Domain Name) you wish to connect to.
oWhen configuring your router as a server, enter the Private IP Address Assigned to Dial in User address.
•Username: If you are a
•Password: If you are a
•Authentication Type: Default is Auto if you want the router to determine which authentication type to use. You can also 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), or the authentication type you want clients to use (when acting as a server). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, whilst CHAP encrypts the password before sending. This presents challenges at different periods to ensure that an intruder has not replaced the client.
•Data Encryption: Data sent over the VPN connection can be encrypted by a MPPE algorithm. Default is Auto, which means this setting is negotiated when establishing a connection. You can also manually Enable or Disable encryption.
•Key Length: The data can be encrypted by MPPE algorithm with 40 bits or 128 bits. Default is Auto, it is negotiated when establishing a connection. 128 bit keys provide stronger encryption than 40 bit keys.
