Once the Cisco VPN software is installed, it needs to be configured for use with VisionWeb. Open the Cisco VPN Client, you’ll see a screen similar to the following, and need to set it up as shown:
Create a new connection entry called Vision Web.
Host IPN is provided by Vision Web (66.45.81.5)
Group Authentication User / Password – this is the same for all OMICS users (Omics, 0Mic$#!)
Transport – set to Enable transparent tunneling as IPSec over UDP
Keep all of the other defaults
After you “Save” the settings, you’ll be back to the main VPN screen:
Double-click on the “Vision Web” connection entry; you’ll be presented with a window like:
The username and password will be assigned by VisionWeb, and are different for each customer. The default (test) settings are Omicsuser1 and omic$uzer1. Once you enter your username and password, you should be connected to the VisionWeb network. If you want to test this, you should be able to ping address 192.168.12.162.
(Note that the FIRST time you access this screen, the “save password” box is not available – you must connect, disconnect, and connect again in order to be able to check the “save password” box).
