Scenario
Digi Connect family VPN router (for example ConnectPort WAN or Digi Connect WAN
IA) is used for remote site connectivity. The primate site is using a Sonicwall VPN
appliance. The two networks need to be connected, and the data needs to be encrypted
between them.
Theory of Operation
A remote location needs to be able to build a secure tunnel between the main site and a
remote branch. One location is using a Digi Connect router to provide primary internet
connectivity. The location is using a Sonicwall router for primary site connectivity.
AVPN tunnel will be created to the Digi Connect router, creating a secure connection for
data to pass through.

Carrier Plan and PC / VPN Appliance Requirements
Digi Connect Router Requirements: Firmware version must be 2.8 or later. To
download the latest firmware, go to http://www.digi.com/support.
GSM GPRS/EDGE APN Type needed: VPN and GRE end-points usually require static
(persistent) IP addresses and must support mobile terminated data connections. If mobile
termination is not an option with your current APN, you will need to acquire a new one
that does support mobile termination.
CDMA networks may also require special plans to provide static IP addresses and
support mobile terminated data connections.
Check with your wireless provider on the available plan types.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
1. This configuration will work with Dynamic IP addresses, using hostnames
established with DynDNS.org, or using the DDNS update feature of Digi
Connectware® Manager. When using a Dynamic IP address, you will need to set the
VPN tunnel to use Aggressive Mode to make the connection work.
2. This configuration will work with other VPN parameters than what is listed in the
screenshots. i.e. –DES, 3DES, AES 192-bit, AES 256-bit, etc.
3. This configuration will work with other Digi Cellular products, such as the Connect
WAN, Connect WAN 3G, and ConnectPort WAN VPN series of products that
support VPN connections.
