6.2 PPTP Settings
For most companies, the PPTP server creates a se- cure connection that a remote user can access a local computer within the company. The remote user has to run a PPTP client and connect to the PPTP server. The PPTP server has to validate the remote user as being in the User List in section 9.1. The server certifies the PPTP client with a username and password. After pass- ing the certification, the server will assign a private IP address to the client. The remote user will be treated like a member of the LAN and can access the local hosts inside the company. To run the PPTP server on the local side, please follow the steps below:
Local Side:
1.In PPTP Settings page: Select the Enable button in the PPTP Server field. (Figure 6.2a).
2.Enter the private IP address of the server in the Server IP Address field.
3.Enter the Client IP Range. The server will assign the IP to each client within the range.
4.Click the Apply button.
