8. What is VPN?
VPN stands for “Virtual Private Networking.” VPNs create a "tunnel" through an existing Internet connection using
PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) or IPSec (IP Security) protocols with various encryption schemes including
Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) .
This feature allows you to use your existing Internet connection to connect to a remote site with added security.
If your VPN connection is not functional, verify that your VPN dial-up configuration is correct.
Note: This information should be provided to you from your VPN provider.
9. What can I do if my Ethernet cable does not work properly?
First, ensure that there is a solid cable connection between the Ethernet port on the Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router, and
your NIC (Network Interface Card).
Second, ensure that the settings on your NIC adapter are “Enabled,” and set to accept an IP address from the DHCP.
If settings appear to be correct, ensure that you are not using a crossover Ethernet cable. Although the Kyocera KR1
Mobile Router is MDI/MDIX compatible, not all NICs are. Therefore, it is recommended that you use a patch cable when
possible.
