Before continuing on with this section, be sure you’ve reviewed the section, “To 
Create a Virtual Private Network (VPN)” in Chapter 1.

When you set up your VPN, keep in mind that the VPN connection (the “tunnel”) 
emulates an actual hardware wide area network port. After setting up your VPN 
tunnel, you can create a connection profile to allow access to and from a remote site. 
VPN connections are created automatically as a result of a reference by a LAN user to 
a resource reachable through a VPN connection.

In order to set up access to and from a remote site, be sure to configure both ends of 
the VPN tunnel appropriately (the remote router and the local router). If you selected 
Access to/from Remote Site from the SMART Configuration screen, follow the 
steps in this section.

When communicating with a remote office, the private IP addresses must be 

different on both sides of the connection. To do this, follow the steps indicated in the 
section, “To Configure Advanced IP Settings”.

Select Access to/from Remote Site in the SMART Configuration 
screen. If you want to share NetWare resources on this connection, select 
Share NetWare(IPX) Resource also.

The SMART Configuration screen is displayed the very first time you run 

the SMART software. To return to this screen, select Customize User Interface from 
the menu.

Configure a VPN tunnel. Select VPN Tunnel from the menu:
