Before
Beginning:
- Read
Wireless Access.
- Know
your computer login userID and password.
Students:
This is the userid and password you enter when logging into your student
email account or a campus open-access lab. If you do not know yours,
visit http://www.student.gsu.edu/
for assistance.
Faculty/Staff: This is your Novell userid and password.
- You
must have a Wireless Network Card
properly installed on your computer.
Setup
Procedures:
Step 1.
Setup Airport.
- Locate the
Airport icon in your toolbar.
- Click on
the icon and choose Turn Airport On from the
pull-down menu.
- Click the
icon again and choose “Other…”
- In the dialog
box, fill in the Closed Network Name as CatChat.
You will need to be in an area of campus that has an active
wireless network.
- Click OK.
Once you connect, the Airport icon in your menu bar will show
the signal strength level of the wireless network.
Step 2.
Verify Connectivity to the Wireless Network.
Confirm
that you can reach the wireless network. You must be able to reach
the network - in general - before you can attempt to create a personal
login session with your userid/password.
- Open a Browser.
- Type in wireless.gsu.edu
and press Enter.
If you see Welcome to the GSU Wireless Network
you are connected. If not, close the browser and try reconfiguring
your wireless card.
Step
3. Install the VPN Client.
- Download
the Client from the wireless.gsu.edu web site.
When you download the file, it will probably “unstuff” itself
and create the CiscoVPNClient icon on your desktop. If you don’t
see the CiscoVPNClient on your desktop, you can “unstuff” the
file with Stuffit Expander. The resulting file will be called
CiscoVPNClient.dmg.
- Double-click
CiscoVPNClient.dmg to create the CiscoVPN
Client icon on your desktop.
- Double-click
the CiscoVPNClient icon.
- Double-click
the Install VPN icon.
Read the dialog boxes and follow the simple onscreen instructions.
The VPN Client will be installed in your Applications folder.
You may want to place the VPN Client on the Dock for easy access
in the future.
- Restart your
computer.
Connect:
- Open the VPNClient
Application.
- Choose wireless-vpn
from the menu, and then click the Connect button
on the button bar.
- Enter your
Novell UseridID and password.
To check your connection: Once you've successfully connected
to the VPN, open your web browser and connect to your favorite web
site.
