VPN
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a tunnel providing a private link between two networks or devices over a public network. Data to
be sent via a VPN needs to be encapsulated and as such is generally not visible to the public network.
The advantages of a VPN connection include:
Data Protection
Access Control
Data Origin Authentication
Data Integrity
Each VPN connection has different configuration requirements. The following pages detail the configuration options available for the
different VPN connection types.
Note: The following descriptions are an overview of the various VPN options available. More detailed instructions are
available in separate whitepapers on the NetComm Wireless website.
IPSec
IPSec operates on Layer 3 of the OSI model and as such can protect higher layered protocols. IPSec is used for both site to site
VPN and Remote Access VPN. The NTC-140W Series router supports IPsec end points and can be configured with Site to Site
VPN tunnels with third party VPN routers.
Configuring an IPSec VPN
From the menu at the top of the screen, click Networking and under the VPN section, click IPSec. A list of configured IPSec VPN
connections is displayed.
