How to replace the existing VPN application with a more secure Cisco client

There are 3 files that you will need to complete this installation.
The entire process should take less than 15 minutes.

Please note that these instructions are compatible with Internet Explorer, NOT Firefox, Chrome, or other browsers.

Please print out these instructions.

1) Download the first file by single-clicking on this link: vpnclient-win-msi-5.0.07.0290-k9.exe and when asked, select Save:
If asked, please re-enter hiq/arrow on the sign-in screen.

Windows will now ask you where you want to save it. Select Desktop on the left, then click Save on the bottom right. Leave the "File Name" and "Save as Type" alone.

2) Minimize all programs so you can see your desktop.
Find the file that you just downloaded (vpnclient-win-msi 5.0.07.0290-k.9.exe) on your desktop, and double-click on it.
If you get a warning about an Unknown Publisher, say RUN.
You'll next get a box asking about Unzipping. Leave the defaults alone, and click on Unzip:

Click OK after the unzipping is complete. You may see another warning about running a program from an unknown publisher;
say YES if you do.The Cisco Installation Wizard will start the install process.
Click on NEXT.
Click on Agree With License on the "I Agree with License" screen.
Continue to click NEXT on each screen, without changing any values.
When the Install is complete, click FINISH, and it may prompt you to re-boot your machine. If you're not prompted, please reboot now.

3) Taking the second and third files:

Open Internet Explorer and return to this page: http://www.arcopress.net/tvlcoll/vpn
Username: hiq
Password: arrow

Second file: Right-mouse click on this link: TCOLL.pcf , select "Save Target As" (or Save Link As"),

(you may be prompted again for the username/password: hiq and arrow), and save it to your desktop, selecting Desktop on the left, and leaving the " File Name" and "Save as type" alone.

(Some versions of Internet Explorer change the 'Save as type" to "Text" . If this happens, please pull down the "Save as Type' Box and select 'All Files' .)

When the download is complete, close the window.

3Rd File: (this is a alternative backup for the 2nd file in case of a failure)

Right-mouse click on this link: TCOLL-backup.pcf

Please follow the same procedure as above in 3) to save to your desktop.

4) Open Windows Explorer : Start/Programs (or All Programs) /Accessories/Windows Explorer.

NOTE: THIS IS WINDOWS EXPLORER, NOT INTERNET EXPLORER

Navigate to Desktop (single-click) on the left side:

Single click on TCOLL.pcf on the right; It will be highlighted. Right-click and select Copy.

Navigate to My Computer, click on the + sign.
Navigate to the C Drive, click on the + sign.

Single-click on the Profiles folder on the left. It will now be highlighted.
Right-click and select Paste. This will add the TCOLL.pcf file to the Profiles folder:
Close Windows Explorer, close "Profiles".

5) Launch the Cisco VPN client program by going to Start/Programs (or All Programs)/Cisco Systems VPN Client, and click on VPN Client.
   When the program opens, double- click on the TCOLL entry, and enter your domain username and password (example: username=betty, password=xxxxxxxx).
   If you don't know your username, please contact Kathryn.

   When you open your email (Outlook), you be be asked to re-authenticate. If the usual username is not accepted, try entering tvlcoll\username in the username box.

You should now be successfully connected to the VPN. You will see an icon down next to the clock indicating that you are connected.

Find your Cisco VPN client and double click to open it. In this example below, it says Disconnected, yours will say Connected.

If your VPN client is missing some of these buttons, go to Options and click on the “Advanced Mode”

Now, Click Import. See screenshot above. You will be asked to browse (“Look in”) to the location where you saved TCOLL-backup.pcf. Browse to your desktop and highlight the file TCOLL-backup.pcf and click Open.

Now you should see the TCOLL-backup as seen below. And, you’re done. You can go back to Simple Mode by selecting it in Options.

7) To create a shortcut on your desktop for future use, go to Start / Programs (or All Programs) / Cisco Systems VPN Client, then RIGHT-CLICK on VPN Client, and select Send To,
then click on the "Desktop Create Shortcut" item (left-mouse click).

You can also delete the three files from the Destop that were placed there for the installation: (vpnclient-win-msi 5.0.07.0290-k.9.exe, TCOLL.pcf, and TCOLL-backup.pcf ) by right-clicking on each and deleting.

DRIVE F OR DRIVE Z Information

Either Drive letter can be 'mapped' to access your files in the office. If you've already got an old mapped drive, then take the corresponding file (goodZ.txt or goodF.txt).

goodZ.txt

Right-click either file above and choose “Save As” (or Save Target As).
If asked, please re-enter hiq/arrow on the sign-in screen.

Click “Desktop” on the left so that the Save In location changes to Desktop.

Change the file name to New Drive Z.bat, or New Drive F.bat

Click Save.

Go to your desk top and find the file called New Drive Z.bat or New Drive F.bat and double click.

You should be prompted for your user name and password.

(This is your windows user name and windows password.)

Once you have confirmed that New Drive.bat gives you access to files on our network, go back and delete the old “Get Drive ” shortcut if you. To do this, you would right click on the icon, then choose delete.

So, now, each day after you’ve connected to our Cisco VPN, you’ll double click the

icon called “New Drive Z” , or "New Drive F" if that’s your normal daily procedure. (If you don’t access files on our network every day, you may not be doing this daily.)
