VPN Setup
The VPN (Virtual Private Network) feature in the WN-300ARM-VPN allows you to create a VPN connection
between 2 WN-300ARM-VPN, or a remote PC to establish a VPN connection to the WN-300ARM-VPN.
To establish a VPN connection from a remote PC to the Wireless ADSL Router, you need suitable (IPSec)
VPN client software on your PC.
For more information about VPNs, please refer to Appendix C - About VPNs.
VPN Policies
A "VPN Policy" contains all the configuration data for a particular VPN connection. Generally, you will have to
create one policy for each site you wish to connect to. The remote VPN Gateway (or client) needs to have
matching configuration.
 Traffic covered by an enabled policy will automatically be sent via a VPN tunnel. If the VPN tunnel
does not exist, it will be created.
 The VPN tunnel is created according to the parameters in the SA (Security Association).
 The remote VPN Endpoint must have a matching SA, or it will refuse the connection.
The VPN Policies:
 Auto - Some parameters for the VPN tunnel are generated automatically. This requires using the IKE
(Internet Key Exchange) protocol to perform negotiations between the 2 VPN Endpoints.
