VIM: Numpad doesn't work in PuTTY

If I work on Windows I usually use PuTTY to connect to remote UNIX servers and VIM to edit some files. On just another server I've faced the following issue:

When I used numpad in BASH it worked well, but as soon as I opened VIM my numpad stopped working. All keys caused VIM to insert another symbol on the new line in text. As I saw here, it's a problem of PuTTY configuration. All I needed is just to open terminal settings and select Terminal->Features->Disable application keypad mode. That solved my problem.
