Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
•You can specify that this Router will Initiate Connections, acting as a foreign agent (Yes), or only answer them, acting as a home agent (No).
•Tunnels are normally initiated On Demand; however, you can disable this feature. When disabled, the tunnel must be manually established through the call management screens.
•You can specify the Idle Timeout, an inactivity timer, whose expiration will terminate the tunnel. A value of zero disables the timer. Because tunnels are subject to abrupt termination when the underlying datalink is torn down, use of the Idle Timeout is strongly encouraged.

Encryption Support
Encryption is a method for altering user data into a form that is unusable by anyone other than the intended recipient. The recipient must have the means to decrypt the data to render it usable to them. The encryption process protects the data by making it difficult for any third party to get at the original data.
Netopia PPTP is fully compatible with Microsoft
Netopia’s ATMP implementation supports Data Encryption Standard (DES) data encryption for user data transfer over the ATMP tunnel between two Netopia Routers. The encryption option, none or DES, is a selectable option in the ATMP Tunnel Options screen.
