PPTP Connection - LAN to LAN (BiPAC 8500/ 8501/ 8520 Only)
• Connection Name: A user-define description of the connection.
• Type: Check Dial Out if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a
remote VPN server, e.g. your office server), check Dial In if you want it to operate as a
