A user-de fined name for the connection (e.g. “connection to office”).
Service Type
Check Dial Out if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a
remote VPN server, e.g. your office server), check Dial In operates as a VPN
server by assigning IP address to dial-in user.
IP Address
If uses Dial Out as a client to the remote server, enter Server IP Address of

If you are a Dial-In user (server), enter your own username.
Password
If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the password provided by your Host.
If you are a Dial-In user (server), enter your own password.
Authentication Type
Default is Auto if you want the router to determine the authentication type to
use, or else manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication
Protocol) or PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which type
the server is using (when acting as a client), or else the authentication type
you want clients connecting to you to use (when acting as a server). When
using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, whilst CHAP encrypts the
password before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods to
ensure that t he client has not been replaced by an intruder.
Idle Timeout (in
minutes)
Auto-disconnect the VPN connection when there is no activity on the
connection for a predetermined period of time. 0 means this connection is
always on.
Activate as default
route
Enables the default route.
Encryption Setting
Data Encryption
Data sent over the VPN connection can be encrypted by an MPPE algorithm.
Default is Auto, so that this setting is negotiated when establishing a
connection, or else you can manually Enable or Disable encryption.
Key Length
The data can be encrypted by MPPE algorithm with 40 bits or 128 bits. Default
is Auto, it is negotiated when establishing a connection. 128 bit keys provide
stronger encryption than 40 bit keys.
Mode
You may select Stateful or Stateless mode. The key will be changed every
256 packets when you select Stateful mode. If you select Stateless mode, the
key will be changed in each packet.
