Using a VPN Connection to Remotely Access Lutron

® Systems

Overview

This application note describes a method of configuring remote access to a Lutron® system using an Internet connection

to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) router. This application note covers configuring a router to use Point to Point Tunneling

Protocol (PPTP) for VPN access. Microsoft Windows XP

®, Windows Vista®, and Windows® 7 have native client support for

this type of VPN.

PPTP VPN adds a layer of security before the homeowner’s system is connected to the Internet. It should be noted that

any time remote access is provided for a homeowner’s site there is a risk of having the network and equipment

compromised by unauthorized access.

Key Terms

VPN Virtual Private Network

VPN Router A piece of hardware or software that provides a virtual connection through a public network (such as

the internet) to a private network.

VPN Client Hardware or software that connects to a VPN router over a public network connection and provides an

additional network connection to the private network which the VPN router is connected to.

ISP Internet Service Provider

Static IP An IP address assigned to a network computer or device which does not change at a given time

interval or during the network connection process.

Dynamic IP An IP address assigned to a network computer or device which changes at a predetermined time

interval or during the network connection process.

URL Universal Resource Locator: a readable name that represents a network IP address (i.e. google.com or

myname.dyndns.org). A URL is often referred to as a host name or web address.

DNS Server A server on a public or private network that translates URL’s into network IP addresses.

Dynamic DNS A service that maps static or dynamic IP address to a URL.

Before You Begin…

1. In order to connect to a VPN router the VPN client must be able to find the VPN router. This is done with one of the

following two options:

a. A static IP address from the client’s ISP. This address must be known to complete the setup and will be provided

by the ISP.

b. An account with a dynamic DNS service. This application note uses DynDNS.org. This will allow the use of a host

name (URL) instead of a static IP.

2. Acquire a VPN router and its accompanying manual. This application note covers the use of the D-Link® DIR-130

(wired) and the D-Link

® DIR-330 (wired/wireless) routers. Please note that all screenshots within this application note

may differ in appearance to the screens rendered on your computer. This application note also assumes the

router is in its “default” or “out-of-box” state. If this is not the case, there is a risk of running an untested VPN
