VPN
A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network, such as the
Internet. It enables a computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if
it is directly connected to the private network, while benefiting from the functionality, security
and management policies of the private network. A VPN is created by establishing a virtual
point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, virtual tunneling
protocols, or traffic encryptions.
IP phones support SSL VPN, which provides remote-access VPN capabilities through SSL. In
order to use VPN, the compressed package of VPN-related files should be uploaded to the IP
phone . The file format of the compressed package must be *.tar. For IP phones, the maximum
file size is 50KB. The related VPN files are: certificates (ca.crt and client.crt), key (client.key) and
the configuration file (vpn.cnf) of the VPN client.

VPN can be configured using the configuration files or locally.
