Chapter 4: Configuration 

 

 

 

This allows you to identify this particular connection, e.g. “Connection 

to office”. 

 Check Dial Out if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a 

remote VPN server, e.g. your office server), check Dial In operates as a VPN server. 

 

 When configuring your router as a Client, enter the remote Server IP Address (or 
Hostname)

 you wish to connection to. 

  When configuring your router as a server, enter the Private IP Address Assigned 

 address. 

 If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the username provided by your Host.  

If you are a Dial-In user (server), enter your own username. 

 If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the password provided by your Host.  

If you are a Dial-In user (server), enter your own password. 

Default is Auto if you want the router to determine the 

authentication type to use, or else manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake 
Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which 
type the server is using (when acting as a client), or else the authentication type you want 
clients connecting to you to use (when acting as a server). When using PAP, the 
password is sent unencrypted, whilst CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and 
also allows for challenges at different periods to ensure that the client has not been 
replaced by an intruder. 

: Auto-disconnect the VPN connection when there is no activity on the 

connection  for a predetermined period of time. 0 means this connection is always on.
