The Connection Panel enables users to open,
close and get clear information about every tunnel that have been configured.
This is all the end-user needs to open and close tunnels.
The Connection Panel is made up of several
elements:
An animated network diagram
showing information on current tunnel (top)
A list of all configured
tunnels with 'open/close' button (bottom)
The user simply clicks on the 'Open' button of
a tunnel to open this tunnel. The 'Open' button automatically switches to
'Close' when the tunnel is opened. One click on the name of the tunnel
automatically opens the Configuration Panel, enabling to change the tunnel
configuration. This feature is disabled when the Connection Panel is protected
with a password (see section 'Access Control').
It is always possible to switch from the
Connection Panel to the Configuration Panel through the system menu (menu
'Configuration Panel') or via the shortcut 'Ctrl + Enter' (see section
'Shortcuts').
It is also possible to automatically apply a
new VPN Configuration by dragging & dropping a VPN Configuration file onto
the Connection Panel. If a tunnel is configured to be automatically opened when
the VPN Client starts (see section 'Phase2 Advanced Settings'), it will
immediately appear open.
If problems occur during the tunnel opening
process, a warning is shown on the right of the tunnel list.
Click on the associated warning link to
automatically open the 'Warning' popup which shows a detailed message about the
problem. Explicit warning messages help users and IT managers to troubleshoot
VPN errors. These popups are also linked ("More information about this
error:" link) to our online help web pages that detail symptoms and give
clues for troubleshooting.
