NG
Build # 27 100
Using the Cisco VPN to build a tunnel involves the following:
1. Installing the required firmware
2. Configuring network hardware settings
3. Configuring the Cisco VPN client
4. Initiating a connection
5. Configuring an application for automatic start
 To install the required firmware
To set up your VPN you must install the VPN client from Cisco.
1. Start ELIAS NG and add the following packages to the device’s IDF:
• Base OS 1.7 or later
• Browser of your choice (optional, for testing purposes)
• Cisco Systems VPN Client (cisco_vpnclient) EPM. The Cisco client software.
2. Save the IDF and exit ELIAS NG.
3. Install the software on the Thin Client by performing a firmware update.
Note Only one VPN may be installed on the Thin Client at a time. In ELIAS NG, if you
receive the error message “Package already defined” when selecting the package,
remove the current VPN from your IDF.
 To configure network hardware settings
1. Configure the network hardware settings.
Tip: For ISDN or ADSL, set the time-out to 600 seconds.
For information on how to configure network hardware settings, see “
3.13 Network
Hardware.”
2. Restart the device.
3. Test that your hardware parameters are correct.
Tip: You can do this by starting a local browser (such as Opera, Mozilla or Firefox). If
you can successfully connect to an external Web site, the parameters are valid.
 To configure the Cisco VPN client
To initiate an encrypted session with a Cisco device, you must have certain parameters saved
to the device. The Cisco VPN client default configuration file is sample.pcf.
Edit the profile configuration file with one of the following:
• UNIX editor vi. Run a local shell (see “
4.8.1 XTerm (Local Shell)”). At the command-line
prompt type the following command to open the file in the editor vi:
vi /setup/ciscovpn/sample.pcf
• Local text editor (see “
4.8.8 Text Editor”)
To set the required parameter:
1. Open the file. Set the parameter “Host” to address of the Cisco VPN server. The
address can be either in decimal format (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) or a DNS Lookup address.
You can set other tunnel parameters in this file if desired, such as IPSec group name
and password or backup servers. For a complete list of all configuration parameters,
see the Cisco documentation.
2. Save the file and exit the editor.
