Integrating with Third Party Software
Although the AT&T Global Network Client contains an integrated VPN client that supports multiple tunnel
endpoints, some customers prefer to use a third-party VPN client and use the AT&T Global Network
Client to establish an underlying Internet connection. Examples of third party software VPN clients that
the AT&T Global Network Client integrates well with are Cisco AnyConnect®
8
and NetMotion®
9
Mobility
XE®.
In other cases, the AT&T Global Network Client is used to establish the VPN connection and third party
software is used as the underlying Internet connection. This section describes how the AT&T Global
Network Client interacts with some third party software clients.
Changes in the NetMotion client status are logged to the message log.
ThinkVantage® Access Connections™
10
ThinkVantage® Access Connections™ is a connectivity assistant program for your ThinkPad computer.
When a Wi-Fi or mobile connection is made, there can be contention between the ThinkVantage Access
Connections client and the AT&T Global Network Client.
The user can specify which software client is in control of the connection by clicking on Login Properties,
Preferences tab, and checking the box next to Disable Lenovo Access Connections under the When this
program starts section. This checkbox is only visible when the Access Connections software is detected
on the user’s computer.
If this checkbox is checked (default), the AT&T Global Network Client will assume control of both Wi-Fi
and mobile access on startup and will disable the Access Connections software if running. If the AT&T
Global Network Client does disable Access Connections on start up, it will re-enable it before exiting.
If this checkbox is not checked, the AT&T Global Network Client will disable its own Wi-Fi and mobile
control and allow Access Connections to control the network access.
WireShark® and Microsoft Network Monitor
Network traffic analysis tools, WireShark®
11
and Microsoft Network Monitor are supported with AT&T
Global Network Client 9.1 and later. The network traffic will be logged to the dynamic VPN IP address of
the AT&T Global Network Client VPN session being monitored. The MAC address of the VPN adapter is
statically defined in the AT&T Global Network Client and will be the same across all instances of the AT&T
Global Network Client on the network, the IP address must be used to identify individual machine
activity.
