4.10 PPTP VPN

Console servers with ﬁrmware version 3.5.2 and later include a PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) server. PPTP is

typically used for communications over a physical or virtual serial link. The PPP endpoints deﬁne a virtual IP address to

themselves. Routes to networks can then be deﬁned with these IP addresses as the gateway, which results in trafﬁc being

sent across the tunnel. PPTP establishes a tunnel between the physical PPP endpoints and securely transports data across the

tunnel.

The strength of PPTP is its ease of conﬁguration and integration into existing Microsoft infrastructure. It is generally used for

connecting single remote Windows clients. If you take your portable computer on a business trip, you can dial a local number

to connect to your Internet access service provider (ISP) and then create a second connection (tunnel) into your ofﬁce network

across the Internet and have the same access to your corporate network as if you were connected directly from your ofﬁce.

Similarly, telecommuters also set up a VPN tunnel over their cable modem or DSL links to their local ISP.

To set up a PPTP connection from a remote Windows client to your Tripp Lite console server and local network:

1. Enable and conﬁgure the PPTP VPN server on your Tripp Lite console server.

2. Set up VPN user accounts on the Tripp Lite console server and enable the appropriate authentication.

3. Conﬁgure the VPN clients at the remote sites. The client does not require special software as the PPTP Server supports the

standard PPTP client software included with Windows NT and later.

4. Connect to the remote VPN.

4. Serial Port, Host, Device and User Conﬁguration
