VPN
A VPN is a logical private network on a publicly accessible infrastructure. Only communications partners that are on this private network can exchange data and information. Data is exchanged via the VPN tunnel, where the tunnel acts as the envelope in which the data is transported.
Requirement for use
• Each end point must support the specific tunnelling protocol that is being used.
• You need to know the access data required to configure a VPN connection.
Configuration
Web interface:
• Network > Enable LAN Port VPN
* Details about the settings are in VPN
Phone:
• Settings > Network > VPN
* Note: The VPN can merely be enabled/disabled on the phone. It can only be configured in the web interface or by provisioning.
* Details about the settings are in VPN
Provisioning:
