Cisco AnyConnect VPN

To Install Cisco AnyConnect VPN:

Be sure you have a connection to the Internet. (This connection cannot be on any APSU campus otherwise the VPN will not install.  You will need to connect from home or other off-site location). 

Once you have established that you are connected to the internet.  If not already open, open a network browser such as Internet Explorer and in the Address bar type https://206.23.60.2

The AnyConnect program should install automatically.  If it does not, a yellow bar will appear and a message will ask you to install the ActiveX plug-in required.  Click (or right click) on the yellow bar and select to install (run) ActiveX.  After it installs you may need to refresh the webpage.

Next, you will start to install the AnyConnect program.  Go ahead and bypass any security settings (such as a webpage that informs you that you attempted to access a site that is not certified, you will need to select the link to continue anyway) and accept any defaults.  AnyConnect will install and inform you when it is connected.

To Run Cisco AnyConnect VPN:

Locate the AnyConnect VPN (either on your Desktop or Under the All Programs menu).

Open the program.

In the field labeled “Connect to” enter the address 206.23.60.2, if it is not currently there.

Click the button labeled “Select”

Enter your username and password (the same you login to a campus Windows computer with) and hit Enter.

As the program connects you will be prompted to accept a security certificate.  Click “yes” to continue. 

In the bottom right hand corner of you screen, on the task bar, a new icon will appear. 

To disconnect from VPN, right click on the icon and select Disconnect.
