Configuring and Managing the VPN 3002
You can configure and manage the VPN 3002 using the command-line interface from the console or a
Telnet or SSH client. However, for ease of use, we strongly recommend using the VPN 3002 hardware
Client Manager, which is HTML-based, from a PC and browser.
The PC must be able to run the recommended browser. The console can be the same PC that runs the
browser.
Browser Requirements
The VPN Hardware Client Manager requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 or higher, or
Netscape Navigator version 4.5-4.7 or 6.0. For best results, we recommend Internet Explorer. Whatever
browser and version you use, install the latest patches and service packs for it.

Familiarity with Windows configuration and management, and with Microsoft Internet Explorer or

source provides a reliable Earth ground.
At least 3 inches (75 mm) of unobstructed space on all sides to accommodate cooling intake vents
on the sides and top.
Standard UTP/STP twisted-pair network cables, Category 5, with RJ-45 8-pin modular connectors.
