Appendix C
Setting Up a VPN Service
This appendix presents an example of how to setup a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service (server and
client) for the ViconNet application. Configuring the system to work this way is performed by changing the
network settings in the ViconNet application setup, as described in the procedure below.
The VPN server in this example is a Windows XP Professional Workstation with two network interface cards
(NICs). The VPN server should be assigned to a separate Workstation; the VPN client can be assigned to the
ViconNet Workstation or Viewer.
NOTE: While the example presented here uses Windows XP Professional, other VPN servers can be used
as well.
The VPN setup consists of four steps:
• Step 1: Setting Up the VPN Server, page 292
• Step 2: Setting Up the Dialup Connection, page 295
• Step 3: Selecting the VPN Network Adapter, page 298
• Step 4: Setting Up the VPN Network, page 299
In this example, a number of cameras are connected to Kollector Forces under an internal/corporate network
for security purposes, as shown below. When users outside the office wish to view the cameras over the
Internet, the VPN server in the office serves as a “bridge” between the external world and the internal
network. The remote machine creates a VPN tunnel with the VPN server and allows users to connect to the
Kollector Forces as if they were under the same internal network in the office.
