Looking at the specs for the VPN
"VPN Functionality: Eight (8) dedicated VPN tunnels, Manual key and IKE
Security Association (SA) assignment, 56-bit (DES), 168-bit (3DES), or
256-bit AES IP Sec encryption algorithm, MD5 or SHA-1authentication
algorithm, pre-shared key, perfect forward secrecy (Diffie- Helman and
Oakley client support), key life and IKE lifetime time settings, prevent
replay attack, remote access VPN (client-to-site), site-to-site VPN,
IPSec NAT traversal (VPN pass-through)
"
It doesn't seem to support the standard VPN client in windows which
would require pptp or l2tp/ipsec support.
