Manual
keying
allows you to manually enter the keys to be
used for encryption and authentication. Enter the Keys (code)
you wish to use for encryption and authentication separately in
the “
Encryption KEY
” and “
Authentication KEY
” fields. Up
to 23 alphanumeric characters are allowed in each field. Be
aware that both ends of the VPN tunnel should use the
same key
management
method in addition to same encryption and
authentication keys.
The “
Inbound SPI”
value set here must match the Outbound
SPI value at the other end of the VPN tunnel. Conversely,
the
“
Outbound SPI”
must match the Inbound SPI value at the
other end. Only numeric characters can be used in both these
fields.
Status and Connect:
After finalizing the settings at both ends of the VPN tunnel,
click the “Connect” button to initiate the VPN tunnel. Once a
connection is established, the word “
Connected”
should
appear under “Status” if the connection is successful. Should
the word “
Disconnected”
appear, it is an indication that a
problem exists, preventing the successful creation of the tunnel.
In this case, you should firstly ensure that your wiring is surely
connected. Next, double-check that correct values have been
entered in the VPN configuration screen. Lastly, ens ure that the
settings at the other end of the tunnel are correct as well.
