VPN Client Configuration
The configuration process is almost as easy as the installation process. The user must enter
several pieces of information. Your installation instructions should provide all the entries that
your users must make.
To start the configuration process, start the VPN Client application. From the Windows
Desktop, choose Start, Programs, Cisco Systems VPN Client to display the Option menu
shown in Figure 4-36. The next step is not self-evident. To start the client, click the VPN Dialer
menu option.

Figure 4-37 shows the main interface screen for the VPN Client. Notice that the Connection
Entry window is blank, indicating that you have not yet configured the connection information.
The Connect button is also grayed out and stays that way until you have a valid connection
defined. Create the first connection entry; click New to begin that process.
