VPN Configuration and Usage for the Toshiba Magnia® SG20 Server 3
Introduction
The VPN software on the Toshiba Magnia SG20 enables you to access your local area
network (LAN) through the Internet. This means that in addition to the dial-in capabilities
of the Magnia SG20, network access is available any place a client computer has an
Internet connection.
While the VPN connections utilize Internet access, they are designed to be secure. The
VPN software uses Point-to-point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and Remote Access Server
(RAS) protocols. These are standard Windows-based security features that enable
information transmitted using the VPN to remain secure.
❖ Communications over the VPN connection are encrypted and validated to prevent
unauthorized access or tampering with data.
❖ PPTP is available and easily configurable on all Windows operating systems,
including Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP. Macintosh operating systems are not supported at this time.
❖ The VPN is compatible with the firewall application. Your firewall remains active while
VPN is enabled, keeping your server and LAN safe.
The VPN is engineered for reliability, ease-of-use, and total compatibility with the Magnia
SG20. Through tight interface and networking integration, the VPN provides easy access
to all of the features of the Magnia SG20 server, as well as access to all systems on the
local network. Since the VPN connection enables access inside the firewall, remote
users appear to be connected to the server's LAN as if they were locally connected.
Because remote users can fully access the system using VPN, the firewall is active to
maintain your local network security.
WARNING: In order to connect to the VPN, client systems must be running a
Windows operating system.
