804V.

*All ports on the DI-804V are Auto-MDIX, meaning it will work with

either a straight through or cross-over cable.

The LED for the specific Local Ethernet Port will light up to indicate

proper connection. Check the front panel of the DI-804V to make sure

that the appropriate LEDs come on when you plug any cable in.

What is a Virtual Private Network (VPN)?

A VPN is the extension of a private network across public or shared networks such as the

Internet. A VPN allows data to be sent between two computers across the Internet in a manner

that emulates a point-to-point private link.

Sample VPN Tunnel Setup

This example will demonstrate how to create a Virtual private Network (VPN) between two

remote locations through the Internet. The VPN policy will use 3DES IPSec to securely

send/receive encrypted data over the Internet. When the VPN tunnel is enabled, the two offices

will virtually appear to be on the same local network.

This example will consist of two DI-804V VPN Routers with a simple setup. The two remote

offices in this example will be known as Office A and Office B. Both VPN Routers must

already be set up and able to access each other. This is only an example, your setup will vary

using the WAN IP address provided by your ISP.

Please note the differences in the IP addresses for each office.

We will begin by configuring the DI-804V at Office A. Start by going into VPN Settings

under the Basic Setup menu. In the Connection Name field, type in OfficeA.

Click ADD.

A properties screen will

appear for the new

connection you have

made. Fill in the

appropriate information

for Office A.

Remote IPSEC Identifier: Remote

Remote IP Network: 192.168.1.0

Remote IP Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Remote Gateway IP: 192.170.0.2

Network Interface: WAN

ETHERNET

Secure Association: IKE

Perfect Forward Secure: Enabled

PreShared Key: 123456

Key Life: 28800

IKE Life Time: 3600

Click SAVE

There should now be a VPN policy created for Office A. Now you will want to Save & Restart

the DI-804V.

Note: 123456 is an example of a preshared key, please fill in any secret preshared key you

desire. Keep in mind that both sites require the same preshared key.
