PPTP Registry Settings

The registry stores information necessary to configure the system for applications and hardware devices. The registry also contains information that the operating system continually references during operation.

To configure the PPTP implementation on a Windows CE–based platform, you can set the following optional registry values on the client device.

Note   The default registry values vary depending on which features are included in your platform. For more information, see Default Registry Settings.

The following table shows the named values for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Pptp1\Parms key.

Value : type Description
TcpPortNumber : REG_SHORT Default setting is 1723.

Specifies the TCP port number of the PPTP server necessary for device connection.

UdpPortNumber : REG_USHORT Default setting is 47.

Specifies the UDP port to which to send UDP encapsulated tunneled packets.

MaxWanEndpoints : REG_ULONG Default setting is 5.

Sets the number of PPTP sessions a WAN miniport can have.

MaxTransmit : REG_ULONG Default setting is 32.

Sets the maximum number of outstanding send packets the PPTP WAN miniport will accept.

InactivityIdleSeconds : REG_ULONG Default setting is 60.

Instructs the receiving device to always send an echo back to the sender when this parameter is set to 1.

TunnelConfig : REG_ULONG Default setting is 0.

Specifies a routing configuration for tunneling clients. The value is a bitmask. If Bit 0 is set to 1, UDP will be used to encapsulate tunneled packets.
