DESCRIPTION

ISP Parameters for Internet Access

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 NBG420N 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.
