DESCRIPTION
ISP Parameters for Internet Access
Connection Type
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure 
transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private 
Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks. PPTP supports on-demand, multi-
protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet. 
The NBG-418N supports only one PPTP server connection at any given time. 
To configure a PPTP client, you must configure the User Name and Password fields 
for a PPP connection and the PPTP parameters for a PPTP connection.
