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-417N 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.
