Typically when you start your wireless system (normally, a laptop), your connection initiates automatically. You do not see the VPN Client's main dialog. As the connection goes forward, the VPN Client displays a sequence of screens.
The VPN Client also displays an authentication dialog,.
When you enter your authentication information, your connection starts immediately, as indicated by the closed yellow lock icon in the system tray.
If your network administrator has defined a banner, you'll also see that banner displayed.
To cancel the connection attempt, click Cancel Connect on the toolbar. When you cancel the connection attempt, the VPN Client displays a message requesting you to confirm the cancellation.
To cancel, click No. The Log tab or Log Window shows the event log message "Connection canceled."
To suspend auto initiation, right-click the yellow lock icon in the system tray and select Suspend Auto-initiation from the menu. In the event log, you see the message "Auto-initation has been suspended". When suspended, also in the system tray, you see that the yellow lock icon is now open.
To resume auto initiation after suspending, right-click on the open yellow lock icon and select Resume Auto-initiation from the menu.
Auto initiation resumes. This is the simplest scenario of what happens during auto initiation. At various points, depending on the actions you take, you see messages, changes in the color of the icon in the system tray, and differences in choices you can make. The rest of this section describes these various alternatives.
