anything in the Service gateway address 2 field.

Results
You have completed the configuration for the VCP connection.
Start a connection for the console (your original connection). Sign on normally, if necessary, and wait for
the console window to appear.
Now you can connect the VCP connection.

Enter any service tools user ID and password, commonly referred to as the DST user ID and password.
Since this is authenticating the connection and not setting up any authorities to the work, there is no
difference between using 11111111 and 11111111 or QSECOFR and ???????. If you have previously created
additional service tools user IDs, you could use any of those as well.
