Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
Figure36
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) can be used to join different
physical networks using the Internet as an intermediary. Using the above
screen allows client PCs to establish a normal PPTP session and provides
hassle-free configuration of the PPTP client on each client PC.
Enter the assigned IP address, subnet mask and default gateway IP address
(usually supplied by your ISP), and then the PPTP User ID, Password and
PPPTP Gateway IP address.
The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) governs the maximum size of the
data packets. Leave this on the default value (1460) unless you have a
particular reason to change it.
Enter a maximum Idle Time Out (in minutes) to define a maximum period of
time for which the PPTP connection is maintained during inactivity. If the
connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be
dropped. (Default: 0 minutes)
Enable the Auto-reconnect option to automatically re-establish the
connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again.
