can be created.
Table 3.2
Type Description
Dial-up connection Establishes network connection via phone line or ISDN line.
Cable connection Establishes network connection with the terminal via cable (IrDA,
Bluetooth included).
Virtual private
network (PPTP)
This is a protocol provided by Microsoft for cipher communications.
Information can be passed safely via the Internet because information is
encrypted, and sent and received between two PCs.
Virtual private
network (L2TP)
This is a protocol that forms a virtual tunnel in the public line network
(Internet, etc.), and establishes a PPP connection via the network to
configure VPN. This protocol is the second layer (data link layer) of OSI
basic reference model, and it can be used not only via IP network but also
via various paths such as frame relay and ATM.
PPPoE
(PPP over Ethernet)
This enables the use of PPP (needed for calls for phone and ISDN lines) in
“constant connection” environment such as LAN.
A new connection is established using the following procedure.
Make New Connection menu pops up by selecting the Make New Connection icon in the
following figure or pressing the Enter key, or double clicking the icon with the mouse emulator. If
the connection icon which is already created is chosen and the Enter key is pressed or the icon is
double clicked, the setting menu will pop up.
