In this document, we shall see the following:

2. Connecting to the campus network using the VPN client software.

Important Note to Windows 7 users : Please ensure that you have installed the Windows 7 update patch
before installing GVC Client. Download the appropriate patch from the following location:

32Bit Patch : https://intranet.cb.amrita.edu/download/VPN/Windows6.1-KB3033929-x86.msu

INSTALLING THE GVC CLIENT


To install GVC using the setup wizard, follow these steps:
1. Download the self-extracting installer, GVCSetupXX.exe (where XX is either 32 for 32-bit
Windows platforms or 64 for 64-bit Windows platforms) from the following link :
http://intranet.cb.amrita.edu/download/VPN/GVC/GVCSetup64.exe

http://intranet.cb.amrita.edu/download/VPN/GVC/GVCSetup32.exe

2. Double-click GVCsetup.exe to launch the Setup Wizard.


3. Click Next to continue installation of the VPN Client. The License Agreement page
displays.

4. Click ‘Next >’ on the Installation Folder Selection page. Optionally, to specify a
custom installation location, click ‘Browse’ and select the appropriate directory in
your laptop/PC. Select ‘Everyone’ in the installation mode and click ‘Next >’ to
proceed.
5. Click ‘Next >’ to continue with the installation
6. Click ‘Close’ to exit the installation wizard.

7. Launch the Global VPN Client software.

8. Select Remote access and click Next


9. In the IP address or Domain Name, enter the IP address of the Campus Firewall.

The order of preference of IP address is as follows:

14.139.187.130
117.240.224.2
43.250.43.162

Please try to connect to the next IP address only if you are unable to reach the
previous IP address.
In the ‘Connection Name’ you can either type in the IP Address again or you can
use any name to identify this connection. (Eg. AmritaCampus)

10. Check the checkbox of ‘Create a desktop shortcut for this connection’ and Click
Finish.
11. Click Enable

12. Enter the preshared secret key ‘sonicwallvpn’ for the connection. You click on the
checkbox to make the secret key visible. Once the preshared key is entered, the
connection will be initiated and the system will request for your username and
password.
13. Enter the username and password for the connection. The username is your official
email ID without the ‘@’ part. (Eg. If your email ID is r_rajan@cb.amrita.edu, your
username is r_rajan). The password is the Domain Controller password which is
normally used to login to your computer or campus WiFi.

14. After entering the username and password, the adapter will try to acquire an IP
address and then moves to the ‘Connected’ status.
15. If you get the following Pop-up message, click on ‘Yes’ to accept and proceed.
Very Important: If you clicked on “No” here, your internet connectivity will be lost.

16. You can check whether you are connected to the campus network by checking your
IP address allocated. To do this, go to your windows command prompt by typing
‘cmd’ in your command window. To check the IP address, give the command
IPCONFIG at the command prompt as shown below. If you are connected, it will
show an IP address similar to 192.168.168.xxx or 172.17.xxx.xxx.

If you have any issues, please send an email to sysadmin@cb.amrita.edu.

Also please be informed that you cannot connect to the VPN from within the campus network
or campus WiFi.
