A VPN (virtual private network) tunnel is a connec-

tion to a remote site over the public Internet. VPN

tunnels are a cost effective solution for sending and

receiving secure business data between two sites.

If you ordered an Intel

®

 8205 VPN router or

purchased one of the VPN Options for Intel

®

Express Routers separately, you can create a VPN

over the Internet.

A VPN provides the security of a private network

without the costs associated with a wide area

network (WAN). The costs for a VPN consist of only

the subscription to an Internet service provider (ISP)

and local calls to your ISP.

Note: You must have a working connection to the

Internet (through the DSL or cable modem connected

to the LAN 2 port) before you can add a VPN tunnel.

1 Complete the VPN Tunnel Worksheet on

page 15.

2 If it is not already open, start Intel® Device View.

3 From the Configuration menu, select Connection

Setup.

4 Select Add Tunnel from the Port / Connection list

in the Connection Setup dialog box, and then click

the Add Tunnel button.

5 Click Next in the Start dialog box of the wizard.

6 On the Tunnel Identification dialog box:

- type a Tunnel Name

- type the Remote IP Address for the peer device

- select LAN 2 as the Connection for Tunnel

7 Follow the screen instructions throughout the rest

of the wizard.

For more information about VPN tunnels:
The VPN Tunnel Wizard configures tunnels using
default settings that work for most situations. You
can modify the configuration using Advanced
Setup, if necessary. Consult the Online Documen-
tation on the Intel Device View CD for more
information.
