VPN Configuration and Usage for the Toshiba Magnia® SG20 Server

Part 2 - Configuring a Client Computer
External computers that connect to the Magnia SG20 server through the VPN are called
"client" computers. Each client computer must be configured to connect with the server.
In all Microsoft
®
Windows operating systems, Virtual Private Networking is implemented
as a feature of Dial-Up Networking. In order to configure your computer for VPN, Dial-Up
Networking must be installed on your computer even if you have no intention of using the
modem to dial an ISP.
In addition to Dial-Up Networking, you must have at least one working network adapter
installed. This adapter can be a Dial-Up, Ethernet, or any networking adapter that has a
connection to the Internet. It is not required that your client computer be connected to the
Internet for configuration. It is however, required that your client computer be connected
to the Internet to actually use VPN.
Configuration Requirements
To communicate via VPN with a Microsoft Windows client over the Internet, your Magnia
SG20 must have:
❖
Enabled VPN support
❖
At least one user account with VPN enabled for the client to use when connecting
❖
A static public IP address.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The downloaded program is most commonly placed on a
diskette so that it may be used directly on a client. The downloaded program may
be placed on your hard drive for later use or it can be emailed as an attachment.
WARNING: A downloaded program used to configure a client computer will contain
the server’s current IP address. If your server’s IP address changes, or the server
uses DHCP, the program used to create a Client Setup Diskette must be
downloaded again so it contains the correct IP address. Any clients previously
configured must be reconfigured with the new IP address.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The process of setting up a client for VPN takes approximately
5 minutes, and includes one restart of your computer.
