7. Appendix C – IPSec VPN
Edimax AC-M3000 has equipped with IPSec VPN feature starts from release version v1.00. To fully utilize the nature
supported IPSec VPN by Microsoft Windows XP SP2(with patch) and Windows 2000 operating systems, Edimax
AC-M3000 implement IPSec VPN tunneling technology between client’s windows devices and Edimax AC-M3000
itself, no matter of through wired or wireless network.
By pushing down ActiveX to the client’s Windows device from Edimax AC-M3000, no extra client software to be
installed except ActiveX, in which a so-called “clientless” IPSec VPN setting is configured automatically. At the end
of this setup, a build-in IPSec VPN feature was enabled to be ready to serve once it is called to be setup.
The design goal is to eliminate the configuration difficulty from IPSec VPN users. At the client side, the IPSec VPN
implementation of Edimax AC-M3000 is based on ActiveX and the built-in IPSec VPN client of Windows OS.
