14.5.2 Set up VPN connections with the Setup Wizard
If possible, make use of the Setup Wizard within LANconfig to set up VPN
connections between local networks. The Wizard guides you through the
configuration and makes all the necessary settings for you. Carry out the
configuration on both routers, one after the other.
ቢ Choose your device from the selection window in LANconfig and select
the Setup Wizard button or use the menu bar Tools ̈ Setup Wizard.
ባ Follow the Wizard’s instructions and enter the necessary data. The Wizard
will inform you when the required information is complete. You can then
close the Wizard with Finish.
ቤ Once you have completed the set-up of both routers, you can start testing
the network connection. Try to communicate with a computer in the
remote LAN (e.g. with
ping
). The device should automatically connect to
the remote station and make contact to the requested computer.
This Wizard automatically sets up the VPN connections essential for typical
LAN-LAN coupling. In the following situations, the VPN connections will have
to be configured manually:
̈ Where no Windows computer with LANconfig is available. In this case, the
necessary parameters are set with WEBconfig or via the Telnet console.
̈ Where only selected portions of the LAN (intranet) are to communicate
with other computers via the VPN connection. This is the case where, for
example, the intranet is connected to further subnets with routers, or
when only selected portions of the intranet should have access to the VPN
connection. In such cases, additional parameters are defined
supplementary to those entered in the Setup Wizard.
̈ Configuring VPN connections to third-party devices.
