Using and Configuring Access Connections

47

Note

Ask your network administrator for the dialed server password and other dialog requirements.

Enable protocol compression - When selected, allows data that is being communicated using the selected protocol (PPP or SLIP) to be compressed (default is selected).

Auto-dial on system startup - When selected, causes the connection to be dialed automatically on system startup. (default is cleared).

Note

When the Default Gateway, DNS Domain, DNS Server, and File Server boxes in the Network Setup dialog box are configured and Auto-dial on system startup is enabled, both firmware revision checking and thin client sign-on are active (sign-on is only active if the profile on the FTP server enables it).

The Default Gateway, DNS Domain, DNS Server, and File Server boxes are required to enable access to an FTP server after the completion of establishing a PPP connection. However, only the File Server path is required to accomplish firmware revision checking and update (the more complicated the network topology in the target network, the more values are required in order to contact the FTP server).

If both Auto-dial on system startup is selected and Auto-connect on system startup is selected in a PPTP connection, the dial-up connection will be completed before the PPTP connection is initiated.

Enable MPPE - When selected, enables MPPE (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption). MPPE is a method of encrypting data transferred across Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)-based dial-up connections or Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) virtual private network (VPN) connections. MPPE uses the RSA algorithm for encryption and supports 40-bit and 128-bit session keys, which are changed frequently to ensure security. MPPE does not compress or expand data.

After dialup initiation, the Dialup Status dialog box opens displaying messages and allowing you to refresh, reset, or disconnect the connection.
