Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology to allow device to create a tunneling connection to a
server and becomes part of the server’s network. The network transmission of the device may be
routed through the VPN server.
For some users, especially enterprise users, a VPN connection might be required to be established
before activate a line registration. The device supports two VPN modes, Layer 2 Transportation
Protocol (L2TP) and OpenVPN.
The VPN connection must be configured and started (or stopped) from the device web portal.

NOTICE! The device only supports non-encrypted basic authentication and non-encrypted data
tunneling. For users who need data encryption, please use OpenVPN instead.
To establish a L2TP connection, users should log in to the device web portal, open webpage
