User Authentication Via PPTP Connection

Before starting the VPN connection, make sure your system has established a network connection with

the Access Control Server. You can use the

ipconfig command to verify the IP settings or use the

ipconfig /renew command to obtain an IP configuration from the Access Control Server 740wl.

Step 1. Open the PPTP connection created by the procedure specified above in the section “PPTP Client

Configuration” on page 4-8. Use the shortcut on your desktop or open the connection from the

Network Connections window in the Control Panel.

The Connect window appears.

Step 2. Type “demouser” and “password” (or the user name and password you created in the built-in

database) in the

Username and Password field, and click Connect to connect to the server.

You may choose to save this username and password for future use before clicking the Connect

button.

After the connection is successfully made, the connection icon appears in the notification area on the

lower-right corner of the screen as shown below.

External Authentication Service Configuration (Optional)

If you use an external RADIUS authentication service and your user account already exists in the

RADIUS server’s database, you can configure the 700wl Series system to authenticate using the RADIUS

server rather than the built-in database.

Once you have successfully completed this configuration, you should be able to logon to the network

through the 700wl Series system using any legitimate username and password recognized by your

RADIUS server.
