You can establish a connection in many ways. The following procedures assume that you use
the default authentication phase name Gateway and the default IPSec configuration name
Tunnel. If you manually set up the connection and changed the names, use vpn_client (or
any other name that you configured) as the authentication phase name and netgear_platform
(or any other name that you configured) as the IPSec configuration name.

• Use the Con
figuration Panel screen. In the tree list pane of the Configuration Panel
screen, perform one of the following tasks:
- Click the Tunnel IPSec con
figuration name, and press Ctrl+O.

unnel IPSec configuration name, and select Open tunnel.

screen, select Tools > Connection Panel to open the Connection Panel screen. Perform
one of the following tasks:
