8. What is VPN?
•
VPN stands for “Virtual Private Networking.” VPNs create a "tunnel" through an existing Internet connection using
PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) or IPSec (IP Security) protocols with various encryption schemes including
Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) .
•
This feature allows you to use your existing Internet connection to connect to a remote site with added security.
If your VPN connection is not functional, verify that your VPN dial-up configuration is correct.
Note:
This information should be provided to you from your VPN provider.
9. What can I do if my Ethernet cable does not work properly?
•
First, ensure that there is a solid cable connection between the Ethernet port on the Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router, and
your NIC (Network Interface Card).
•
Second, ensure that the settings on your NIC adapter are “Enabled,” and set to accept an IP address from the DHCP.
•
If settings appear to be correct, ensure that you are not using a crossover Ethernet cable. Although the Kyocera KR1
Mobile Router is MDI/MDIX compatible, not all NICs are. Therefore, it is recommended that you use a patch cable when
possible.
