Appendix D: Integrating with Third Party Software
Although the AT&T Global Network Client contains an integrated VPN client that supports multiple tunnel
endpoints, some customers prefer to use a third-party VPN client and use the AT&T Global Network
Client to establish an underlying Internet connection. Examples of third party VPN clients the AT&T
Global Network Client integrates with are Cisco, Nortel, and NetMotion.
In other cases, the AT&T Global Network Client is used to establish the VPN connection and third party
software is used as the underlying Internet connection. This section describes how the AT&T Global
Network Client interacts with some third party software clients.
Changes in the NetMotion client status are logged to the message log.
Lenovo Access Connections
Access Connections can be used to establish network connections on a ThinkPad computer. When a Wi-
Fi or mobility connection is made, there can be contention between the Lenovo Access Connections client
and the AT&T Global Network Client.
The user can specify which software client is in control of the connection by clicking on Login Properties,
Preferences tab, and checking the box next to Disable Lenovo Access Connections under the When this
program starts section. This checkbox is only visible when the Access Connections software is detected
on the user’s computer.
If this checkbox is checked (default), the AT&T Global Network Client will assume control of both Wi-Fi
and mobility access on start up and will disable the Access Connections software if running. If the AT&T
Global Network Client does disable Access Connections on start up, it will re-enable it before exiting.
If this checkbox is not checked, the AT&T Global Network Client will disable its own Wi-Fi and mobility
control and allow Access Connections to control the network access.
