This method provides two ways to access the enterprise intranet: ● An enterprise dial-up server connects directly to the enterprise intranet. ● An Internet Service Provider (ISP) dial-up server provides access to the Internet, from which the thin client must access an enterprise Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Virtual Private Network (VPN) server that connects to the enterprise intranet. NOTE: The dial-up server must be a Microsoft Remote Access Server or another server that supports industry-standard protocols. Direct Connection This type of connection allows you to connect directly to another computer through the serial port on the terminal. NOTE: This option is available only to thin clients with serial ports. Virtual Private Network (PPTP) Connection Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables the secure transfer of data between a remote client (in this case the thin client) and an enterprise server environment by creating a VPN across TCP/IP-based data networks such as the Internet.
