Chapter 2 Customizing the client 43
Configuring the Contivity VPN Client
The customizable installation files are in the \client\custom directory on the Nortel
Networks CD. Select all of the files and paste them into an empty directory on
your PC called, for example, Custom Install.
Create your icons
There are three steps involved in creating a custom icon:
1 Create the icon.
2 Rename the icon according to the Nortel Networks custom icon conventions.
3 Copy the renamed icon to the custom installation directory.
You must follow these steps for each of the following icon groups:
• Contivity VPN Client application icon
• Contivity VPN Client task bar icons
• Contivity VPN Client connecting icons
There are from two to four different representations of the group icon within each
group. You can create icon bitmaps in whatever style you prefer; however, the
Nortel Networks icons are intended to convey a message for the given action,
such as data transfer activity or establishing a connection.
The following sections describe the icon type that you should create, and also
show you where the icon appears in the client application.
Client application icon (eacapp.ico)
The client application icon eacapp.ico (Figure 10) is used in place of the corporate
icon, in the upper-left corner of the main application window, while the
connection is being established and during disconnection.
