Encapsulation

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables

 

secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a

 

Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks. PPTP supports

 

on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public

 

networks, such as the Internet. The ZyAIR supports only one PPTP server

 

connection at any given time.

 

To configure a PPTP client, you must configure the User Name and

 

Password fields for a PPP connection and the PPTP parameters for a PPTP

 

connection.
