Billion 810VGTX Router
Page | 72
Name: A given name for the connection (e.g. “connection to office”).
Connection Type: Remote Access or LAN to LAN.
Type: Check Dial Out if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a remote VPN server, e.g. your office
server), check Dial In if it operates as a VPN server.
When configuring your router as a Client, enter the remote Server IP Address (or Domain Name) you wish
to connect to.
When configuring your router as a server, enter the Private IP Address assigned to the Dial in User.
IP Address: Enter the IP address.
Peer Network IP: Enter your peer’s network IP address.
Netmask: Enter the subnet mask of the peer network based on the Peer Network IP setting.
Username: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the username provided by your Host. If you are a Dial-In user
(server), enter your own username.
Password: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the password provided by your Host. If you are a Dial-In user
(server), enter your own password.
Authentication Type: Default is Auto if you want the router to automatically determine the authentication type to use. If
you know which authentication type the server is using (when acting as a client), you may manually specify the
Authentication type whether CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password Authentication
Protocol). When acting as a server, you can set the authentication type you want the clients connecting to you to use.
When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, while CHAP encrypts the password before sending it.
Data Encryption: Data sent over the VPN connection can be encrypted by an MPPE algorithm. Default is set to Auto,
so that this setting is negotiated when establishing a connection, you can also manually Enable or Disable the
encryption.
Key Length: The data can be encrypted by MPPE algorithm with 40 bits or 128 bits. Default is Auto; it is negotiated
when establishing a connection. 128 bit keys provide a stronger encryption than 40 bit keys.
Mode: You may select Stateful or Stateless mode. The key will be changed every 256 packets when you select Stateful
mode. If you select Stateless mode, the key will be changed in each packet.
Active as default route: Commonly used by the Dial-out connection where all packets will route through the VPN
tunnel to the Internet. Therefore activating this function may degrade the Internet performance.
