Configuring a Client Computer

External computers that connect to the Magnia SG20 server
through the VPN are called "client" computers. Each client
computer must be configured to connect with the server.

In all Microsoft

®

Windows operating systems, Virtual Private

Networking is implemented as a feature of Dial-Up
Networking. In order to configure your computer for VPN,
Dial-Up Networking must be installed on your computer
even if you have no intention of using the modem to dial an
ISP.

In addition to Dial-Up Networking, you must have at least
one working network adapter installed. This adapter can be a
Dial-Up, Ethernet, or any networking adapter that has a
connection to the Internet. It is not required that your client
computer be connected to the Internet for configuration. It is
however, required that your client computer be connected to
the Internet to actually use VPN.

TECHNICAL NOTE: The process of setting up a client for VPN
takes approximately 5 minutes, and includes one restart of your
computer.

Configuration Requirements

To communicate via VPN with a Microsoft Windows client
over the Internet, your Magnia SG20 must have:

Enabled VPN support

At least one user account with VPN enabled for the client
to use when connecting
