42Section 3: Additional Features
BT Telecommunications PLC 2003-2005
To specify an application or file to be opened at any one of these stages, you should simply set the
corresponding profile entry to be the application/file name and path. For example, to launch a word
document called
login.doc
located on your
C:
drive when
Connect
is clicked, you would set
Pre
Connect URL
to be
c:\login.doc
. Note that if paths contain spaces, then they must be
surrounded by double quotes, e.g. "
c:\program files\myapp\myapp.exe -v"
Profile entry
Post Connect Delay
specifies how long in seconds the
Post Connect URL
should
be opened after the connection has been established. So setting this to '5' will cause
BT I-Connect
to wait five seconds after successfully connecting before opening whatever is specified in
Post
Connect URL
.
Profile entry
Pre Disconnect Delay
specifies how long in seconds the disconnection process
should start after you click
Disconnect
. So setting this to '30' will cause
BT I-Connect
to wait thirty
seconds after
Disconnect
is clicked before starting the disconnection.
3.7 VPN Support
Internal VPN Support
BT I-Connect supports Cisco and Nortel's VPN client software internally, meaning that they will be
controlled automatically without you having to configure or run them. To use BT I-Connect with
these VPN clients, you need an
Internal VPN
enabled profile (see
mobilitysoftware.btglobalservices.com for these). Once a profile of this type is installed, you will be
prompted for the various configuration settings when you connect to it for the first time. On
subsequent connections you will be prompted for only a few these settings, as most are stored
once they are entered the first time.
External VPN Support
This section describes how to set up an external VPN client with BT I-Connect. It is only
recommended for advanced users and requires a good understanding of the VPN Client in use.
BT I-Connect can interact with VPN clients from any vendor that provide a command line interface.
To do so you need an
External VPN
enabled profile installed (see
mobilitysoftware.btglobalservices.com for these), with the following entries configured:
External VPN Start Executable
Executable used to start the VPN Client
External VPN Start Parameters
Parameters supplied to the start executable. This can contain the following variables that are used
to substitute values from other profile entries:
