About VPN
In addition to a full firewall functionality, Nokia IP45 Tele 8, and Nokia Satellite X enable
secure telecommuter access from home to the office network through the virtual private network
(VPN) functionality.
VPN consists of at least one VPN server or gateway, and several VPN clients. A VPN server
makes the corporate network remotely available to authorized users, such as employees working
from home, who connect to the VPN server by using VPN clients. A VPN gateway can be
connected to another VPN gateway in a permanent, bidirectional relationship. The two
connected networks function as a single network.
A connection between two VPN sites is called a VPN tunnel. VPN tunnels encrypt and
authenticate all traffic passing through them. Through these tunnels, you can safely use your
company network resources when you work at home. For example, you can securely read email,
use your company intranet, or access your company database from home.
Nokia IP45 Tele 8, and Satellite 16/32/U licenses provide VPN functionality. Nokia IP45 Tele 8
contains a VPN client and can act as a VPN server. Nokia IP45 Satellite 16/32/U can act as a
VPN client, a VPN server, or a VPN gateway.
Both Nokia IP45 Tele 8, and Nokia IP45 Satellite X enables a number of solutions to support
your VPN connectivity needs that are explained in the following sections.
