CONFIGURATION

 

 

12.2  Configuring a TLS connection 

The M2Me_Secure software provided by ETIC TELECOM is a Windows 
TLS client software. 
Installed on a PC running Windows  XP or Seven, M2Me_Secure makes 
TLS connections from a remote PC to the SIG easy; moreover it includes 
a connection book in such a way one just need a click to connect to a 
remote site. 
 
We describe hereafter how to configure the router and the M2Me_Secure 
software to set a TLS VPN between both. 
 

 

 
Step 1 : Router configuration 
 
To configure a remote user TLS connection, 

 

• 

select the “

Set up

” menu, the “

Remote users

” menu and then the
