10.2.1 Preparing the PC for PPTP Tunneling
Most, if not all OSs provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
guided procedure for the initial creation of a PPTP connection
icon.
The result of such creation is in most cases an icon, or entry in a
folder or a table called 'RAS', 'DialUp Networking', 'PPTP', 'Call
sessions', etc.
During the initial configuration of your PPTP connection icon, you
must provide the following parameters:
A name for the PPTP connection icon
The VPN server's IP address, or DNS hostname, i.e. the
STPro's IP address, or DNS hostname
Optionally, you can complete this entry with the following string
information:
The VC's PPPoA phonebook name - configured on your
STPro - to be used for this connection
Note: Only in case multiple PPPoA or any phonebook entries are directed
towards different destinations, you must add the appropriate phonebook
name to the dialstring. This allows the STPro to open the session to the
correct specific destination. In case all PPPoA and/or any phonebook
entries are directed towards the same destination, it is better not to add a
phonebook name to the dialstring.
A PPTP profile name - configured via the STPro's CLI - to
be used for this connection.
