Using the VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager
The VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager is an HTML-based interface that lets you configure,
administer, monitor, and manage the VPN 3002 with a standard web browser. To use it, you connect to
the VPN 3002, using a PC and browser on the same private network with the VPN 3002.
The Manager uses the standard web client / server protocol, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), which
is a cleartext protocol. However, you can also use the Manager in a secure, encrypted HTTP connection
over SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol, known as HTTPS.
•
To use a cleartext HTTP connection, see the section, “ Connecting to the VPN 3002 Using HTTP .”
• To use HTTP over SSL (HTTPS) with the Manager:
– The first time, connect to the Manager using HTTP, and
– Install an SSL certificate in the browser; see “ Installing the SSL Certificate in Your Browser .”
When the SSL certificate is installed, you can connect directly using HTTPS; see “ Connecting to the
VPN 3002 Using HTTPS .”
VPN 3002 Hardware Client Browser Requirements
The VPN 3002 Hardware Client Manager requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 or
higher, or Netscape Navigator version 4.5–4.7. For best results, we recommend Internet Explorer.
Whatever browser and version you use, install the latest patches and service packs for it.
Note
You cannot use the Live Event Log feature with Netscape Navigator version 4.0
