Chapter 7 - VPN Configuration
Overview
Virtual Private Network (VPN) uses encryption to connect computers over a public network such as the Internet.
Encrypted connections between computers are commonly referred to as a tunnel. These secure tunnels permit
sending private data from one computer to another without the risk of unauthorized access from outside intruders.
Combined with low cost and straight forward configuration, the XC-DPG503 makes VPN a perfect alternative to
private communication lines.
XiNCOM XC-DPG503 is a VPN capable Dual WAN Gateway with industry standard IPsec encryption. It provides
extremely secure LAN-to-LAN connectivity over the Internet. The 503 supports VPN by encryption, encapsulation,
and authentication using the following methods: DES/3DES/AES, MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-2; up to 50 IPsec tunnels
are permitted.
The VPN configuration menu allows you to configure the behavior of the XiNCOM XC-DPG503. Before creating a
configuration, please review your requirement for VPN:
• Is this going to be a Client – to – Gateway VPN or a Gateway – to – Gateway VPN?
• What type of authentication would you be using? (DES, 3DES or AES)
• How many computers do you want to have access to the VPN?
Note:
The XC-DPG503 uses the IPSec VPN protocol. However, due to variations in how manufactures interpret this
protocol standard, not all VPN products are interoperable with each other. Although the Twin WAN VPN Gateway
can interoperate with many other VPN products, XiNCOM cannot to provide specific support for all other products.
