Configure a Windows Vista Client for
L2TP over IPsec
This section includes step-by-step instructions for configuring a Windows
Vista client to establish a L2TP over IPsec connection to the TMS zl Module.
On Windows Vista, you must configure IPsec policies manually.
Note If you are using Windows 7, the process of configuring this VPN client is very
similar to the process of configuring a Vista VPN client.
For the configuration to work, you must also configure L2TP over IPsec
settings on the module as described in “Configure an L2TP over IPsec VPN”
on page 7-144. See “TMS zl Module Settings for a Windows Vista Client” on
page 7-493 for a table that shows all necessary settings.
Before you configure the VPN connection, make sure to uninstall any other
third-party VPN client; these clients can interfere with the Windows Vista
client. Then follow these steps:
Figure 7-396. Windows Vista — Start > Run
1. On the Windows Vista client, click Start > Run.
If your Start menu does not include the run command, you must customize
the menu:
a. Right-click Start and click Properties.
b. Click Customize.
c. Select the Run command check box and click OK.
