Gets and sets the device type for the current dial-up networking connection.
A string which specifies the device type.
The DeviceType property returns the type of device that the connection was established with. Setting this property will change the type of device that will be used to establish the connection. Examples of valid device types are:
| DeviceType | Description |
|---|---|
| modem | An internal or external serial analog modem device, or other serial communications device which supports the AT command set. |
| isdn | An ISDN terminal adapter. Note that some ISDN devices, such as the 3Com ImpactIQ are considered modem devices. |
| vpn | A virtual private network connection. |
Because changing the device type can change the current device name, it is recommended that applications change this property value before changing the value of the DeviceName property.
