3.2.2 Starting the VPN Client Connection

Method 1: Automatic Start

In section “ Starting and stopping a VPN client connection” on page 57, the configuration of the Automatic Start mechanism is explained. All parameters required for starting the connection are stored in the SpeedTouch™ configuration file, and no further user interaction is required to start the VPN connection. With XAuth configured, the authentication parameters are stored in the SpeedTouch™ and can be regarded as a group authentication for all terminals that have access to the VPN. In case of nat virtual IP mapping multiple terminals may simultaneously access the VPN. In case of dhcp virtual IP mapping, a single terminal at a time is allowed to access the VPN.

Method 2: Manual Start

If the Manual Start mechanism is selected, no connection startup parameters are configured in the SpeedTouch™. Each time you want access to the VPN, you have to manually dial in and enter the login parameters. A manual dial-in page is available in the SpeedTouch™ Web pages.

The manual start mechanism is most suited in a teleworker scenario, where a single user makes use of the VPN connection.
