DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router

PPTP

The Point to Point Tunneling Protocol is used to transfer information securely between VPNs (Virtual
Private Routers). Encryption methods are employed in the transfer of information between you and your ISP
using a key encryption. This option is specific for European users whose ISPs support the PPTP protocol for
the uplink connection. To connect to your ISP’s server using this protocol, the information in this window
must be provided to you by your ISP and then properly implemented.

PPTP connection setup menu

There are two ways to enable the router to become a PPTP client, one is through assigning the router an IP
address dynamically, which means that the DHCP protocol will be implemented by the Router to
automatically configure the IP settings. The user may input the IP settings manually by choosing the Static
IP option above the configuring area. To configure the router to be a PPTP client, complete the following
fields and click the Save Settings button.
