GUI Elements

When the VPN Client application has been opened, most of the VPN Client screen estate is reserved for displaying the connections. Initially, when no connections have been set up, most of the screen remains blank.

The top of the connection list is the Action Bar which displays the VPN Client icon and title, followed by icons:

• The Plus icon: Touch the Plus icon (+) to define a new connection. For details, see section Configuring Connections
• The Action overflow icon: Touch the Action overflow icon (located in the right end of the action bar) to open the VPN Client menu described in section VPN Client Menu. Note: In devices with a physical Menu button, the Action overflow icon may no be visible. Press the physical Menu button instead.

Figure : The main display shows a list of configured VPN connections

If VPN connections have already been defined, they are listed in alphabetical (case insensitive) order on the VPN Client screen. Under each user-defined VPN connection name, the IPsec connection type is displayed as a summary of the configuration, as shown in Figure The main display.

If a VPN connection is currently connected, the checkmark next to the connection name is lit up green. If the connection is active but not currently connected, the checkmark is gray.
