The PPTP/L2TP Connection Wizard is used to create and configure a new PPTP or L2TP connection. All pages of the PPTP/L2TP Connection Wizard provide the following buttons:
Previous leads back to the previous page.
Next leads forward to the next page. On the last
page of the PPTP/L2TP Connection Wizard the button is changed into Finish
to save all modifications.
PPTP/L2TP Connection Wizard - Page 1 contains following components:
The Connection Name text field requires a connection identification name. The name of the connection cannot start with a digit symbol, however it can contain digits further in the name.
The Connection Type drop down list allows to select the type of the connection (PPTP or L2TP).
PPTP/L2TP Connection Wizard - Page 2 contains the following components:
The Peer Name text field requires the connection peer name. If you are creating a client connection, then the server's host name should be defined here. If you are creating a server connection, then the client's hostname should be defined here.
Note: When creating a connection with a Windows Server, ensure that a user with the Quadro’s host name and Dial-in access exists on the server. When creating a connection with a Windows Client, ensure that the Peer name specified on this page matches the Dial-in connection’s username.
Note: The input in the Peer Name field should only be in Latin characters, otherwise an error occurs and no connection can be created.
The Password text field requires the password for the connection establishment.
Note: These authentication settings should be identically configured on both peers for the successful connection establishment.
The manipulation radio buttons selection on this page allows you to choose whether the new connection will be a client or a server. For the Client radio button selection, no further details need to be provided. For the Server radio button selection, the following information needs to be provided:
For PPTP connection, the PPTP Server text field requires an IP address or a host name of the PPTP server. For L2TP connection, the L2TP Server text fields require an IP address of the L2TP server. The IP-Clipboard button is used to apply a previously entered IP address.
The Authentication manipulation radio buttons are only present if the Connection Type selected on the previous page is PPTP. They are used to select the corresponding authentication protocol by which the client communicates with the server. The MSCHAPv2 selection enables the Encryption drop down list where the encryption method can be selected.
