To set up a PPTP tunnel, you create a Connection Profile including the IP address and other relevant information
for the remote PPTP par tner. You use the same procedure to initiate a PPTP tunnel that terminates at a remote
PPTP ser ver or to terminate a tunnel initiated by a remote PPTP client.

To set up the router as a PPTP Network Ser ver (PNS) capable of answering PPTP tunnel requests you must also
configure the VPN Default Answer Profile. See

“VPN Default Answer Profile” on page 9-8

for more information.

PPTP is a Datalink Encapsulation option in Connection Profiles. It is not an option in device or link configuration
screens, as PPTP is not a native encapsulation. Consequently, the Easy Setup Profile does not offer PPTP
datalink encapsulation. See

“Creating a new Connection Profile” on page 7-2

for information on creating

Connection Profiles.

Channel 4 (and higher) events, such as connections and disconnections, repor ted in the WAN Event Histories
are VPN tunnel events.

To define a PPTP tunnel, navigate to the Add Connection Profile menu from the Main Menu.

When you define a Connection Profile as using PPTP by selecting PPTP as the datalink encapsulation method,
and then select Data Link Options, the PPTP Tunnel Options screen appears.
