DESCRIPTION

ISP Parameters for Internet Access

 

 

Connection Type

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

 

NBG-417N 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.

 

 

User Name

Type the user name given to you by your ISP.
