12-4 Administration Guide
PPTP configuration
To set up the router as a PPTP Network Server (PNS) capable of answering PPTP tunnel requests you must also configure the VPN Default Answer Profile. See ATMP/PPTP Default Answer Profile on page
PPTP is a Datalink Encapsulation option in Connection Profiles. It is not an option in device or link configuration screens, as PPTP is not a native encapsulation. Consequently, the Easy Setup Profile does not offer PPTP datalink encapsulation. See the User’s Reference Guide for information on creating Connection Profiles.
Channel 4 (and higher) events, such as connections and disconnections, reported in the WAN Event Histories are VPN tunnel events.
To define a PPTP tunnel, navigate to the Add Connection Profile menu from the Main Menu.
