then the “Standby to connect” command in the “File” menu.

Test the VPN Connection from the Home PC to the AVM Access Server
1. In order for the NetWAYS/ISDN computer to activate a VPN con-
nection to the AVM Access Server, the AVM Access Server’s con-
nection to the Internet must be active. In the example, the “flat
rate” option is activated on the AVM Access Server, so the Inter-
net connection is active all the time.

the NetWAYS/ISDN window, select the Internet connection, then
click “Standby to connect” in the “File” menu.
