Use the following guidelines:

•Message area - Displays messages as dialing progresses and the connection is established. If this is an interactive login connection, type appropriate responses to messages if you are prompted (ask your network administrator for the dialed server password and other dialog requirements).

•Data area - Displays data and statistics about the connection.

•Refresh - Updates the statistics display of the connection.

•Reset - Cancels dialing and resets the connection statistics area to 0.

•Disconnect - Disconnects the connection.

Configuring PPTP VPN Access

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) is a network protocol that enables the secure transfer of data between a remote client (in this case a thin client) and an enterprise server environment by creating a virtual private network (VPN) across TCP/IP-based data networks such as the Internet. It provides a password-protected path through the enterprise firewall to the enterprise server environment in which the network and session services required by thin clients reside.

The PPTP Manager dialog box is used to initiate a connection to a virtual private network (VPN) PPTP server through any of several access services (for example, dial-up, cable, or DSL). Connection parameters are entered using the PPTP Property dialog box.

Note

Modem access to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) server must be established before attempting to use this dialog box.

Selecting PPTP Manager in the Desktop menu opens the Dialup Manager dialog box. The PPTP Manager dialog box can also be set to open automatically on thin client start as described in "Configuring Network Settings."

Figure 29 PPTP Manager

Use the following guidelines:

•Description/Protocol area - Lists a description and protocol of each PPTP property entry created using the PPTP Property dialog box.

•Connect - Initiates a PPTP connection for a currently-selected list entry. After initiation, a PPTP Status dialog box opens (if Show progress in detail is selected in the PPTP Property dialog box and a path to an enterprise PPTP VPN server is available) displaying messages and allowing you to refresh or disconnect the connection. A PPTP connection is also initiated automatically on system start-up if this feature is selected in the PPTP Property dialog box.
