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 ZyAIR 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.

Password

Type the password associated with the User Name above.

Retype to Confirm

Type your password again to make sure that you have entered is correctly.

Nailed-up Connection

Select Nailed-Up Connection if you do not want the connection to time out.

Idle Timeout

This value specifies the time in seconds that elapses before the ZyAIR

automatically disconnects from the PPTP server.
