Welcome
Welcome to the OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian — Release 1.2 — End-User
Reference Guide. This guide will introduce you to the many functions of the
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian (NLG) card and their operation.
For instructions on how to install your card and the client software, see the
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian — Release 1.2 — Card Quick Start Guide.
OmniAccess 3500 NLG Card Features Overview
The OmniAccess 3500 NLG card keeps your laptop within the security perimeter of
your company’s network at all times, irrespective of where you are.
The card supports the following functions:
• Secure connectivity with your company’s network irrespective of your laptop’s
location and with no action required on your part.
• Automatic switching of network interface serving the connection to your
company’s network when the current serving interface (e.g., wired Ethernet) is
disconnected.
• Easy manual switching of network interface serving the connection to your
company’s network when the laptop senses a surrounding access network with
better performance.
• Integrated Personal Firewall to protect your laptop from attackers and to restrict
the set of applications that are allowed to access the network.
• Encrypted volume for storage of sensitive data in your laptop’s hard disk.
Configuration and management of the encrypted volume are fully transparent to
you (no passwords to enter and maintain).
• Protection of the data stored in your laptop in case it is lost or stolen. Your IT
administrator can remotely lock the laptop or destroy the keys that are required
for decryption of the encrypted volume contents.
• Integration of common patch management applications (Microsoft SMS, PatchLink
Update) to take the execution of time-consuming patch downloads away from
the hours when you typically work with your laptop.
Common Operations
The following sections show you how to perform basic OmniAccess 3500 NLG
operations on the graphical user interface (GUI) of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG client.

OMNIACCESS 3500 NLG CLIENT WINDOW SECTIONS
The OmniAccess 3500 NLG Client window contains the following sections:
• The Interfaces section lists all network interfaces that are available for access
connectivity. A red lightning bolt symbol is added to the icon of the network
interface that currently serves the access connection. A red diagonal cross
symbol is added to the icons of the available network interfaces that are
currently not serving the access connection. You can view configuration and
status information for an interface by clicking on the corresponding icon.
• The Interface Information section displays information about the interface that
is currently highlighted in the Interfaces section.
• The Secure Connection Information section displays parameters for the VPN
tunnel (if established) and the authentication status of the end user.
• The Make Enterprise Connection section provides access to the controls that are
required to connect to your company’s network, including the manual selection
of the serving interface.
• The 3G section provides control for and information about the 3G modem that is
integrated in the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card.
How do I connect to the company network?
If your OmniAccess 3500 NLG card has been properly activated and configured and at
least one of the network interfaces has connectivity to the Internet, the OmniAccess
3500 NLG will automatically connect you to your company’s network over a secure
tunnel. The Interfaces section of the client GUI window will show the red lightning
bolt symbol next to the interface that is currently serving the network connection.
Be sure that you are logged into your laptop with the user ID and password (NT Domain
credentials) provided by your IT administrator for access to your company’s network.
If you use a different set of credentials to log into your laptop, you will see the
lightning bolt symbol but you will have no access to your company’s network.
Depending on network conditions, access to your company’s network may not be
immediately available after you log into your laptop. The appearance of the lightning
bolt symbol will indicate when the secure tunnel to your company’s network is
established.
After your laptop boots up, one of the following three network interfaces, in the order
of priority given below, is used for establishing a connection:
1. Ethernet on your laptop
2. Wi-Fi on your laptop
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian End-User Reference Guide
4
3. 3G wireless on your OmniAccess 3500 NLG card
A lower-priority interface is used if no connectivity is available for the higher-priority
one(s).
Once a connection has been established, the serving interface does not change unless
the corresponding access network becomes unavailable (in which case the OmniAccess
3500 NLG automatically establishes a new connection over the available access
network with the highest priority) or you switch it manually.
How do I manually change my serving network interface?
If you are connected to your company’s network through the 3G modem on your
OmniAccess 3500 NLG card and a Wi-Fi access point or an Ethernet outlet become
available near you, you may want to switch your serving interface to experience faster
network access. To manually switch from one interface to another, simply select the
desired interface in the Interfaces section of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Client window
and click Connect in the Make Enterprise Connection section. The Status bar will show
the progress in the establishment of the new connection.
If you do not want the OmniAccess 3500 NLG to automatically use the 3G connection
(for example, because your 3G service provider charges you based on traffic), uncheck
the Auto 3G Connect checkbox in the 3G section of the OmniAccess NLG Client
window, then click Apply. If the system subsequently needs to connect via 3G, the
following pop-up window appears:
Click Yes or No, depending on whether you want to use the 3G interface to connect to
your company’s network.
Note: The setting of the Auto 3G Connect checkbox is overridden when the 3G
connection is initiated by the OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway (at times when the
laptop may be powered off or not already connected to the gateway).
How do I select my roaming and network preferences?
To avoid paying the extra connectivity fees that wireless service providers different
than yours may charge when you roam through their networks (being attached to a
visited network instead of your home network), you can prevent your 3G modem from
connecting to a visited network by disabling its roaming capability. You can also
prevent your modem from attaching to low-bandwidth 2G wireless networks.
To select your preferred roaming and networking modes, do the following:
1. On the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Client window, from the Wireless menu, click
Preferences. The Preferences window appears.
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian End-User Reference Guide
5
2. In the Roaming Mode section of the window, select In-Network Only (to exclude
attachment to a visited network), Roaming Only (to exclude attachment to the
home network), or Automatic (to keep both options available).
3. In the Network Mode section, select EVDO Only (for exclusive 3G connectivity),
1xRTT Only (for exclusive 2G connectivity), or Automatic (for keeping both
options available).
4. Click OK for these settings to become effective.
Note: The Roaming Mode and Network Mode settings are overridden when the 3G
connection is initiated by the OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway (at times when the
laptop may be powered off or not already connected to the gateway).
How do I connect from a public hotspot?
Wi-Fi access points and Ethernet outlets in hotels and other public places often
require you to enter additional credentials (for example, a local user ID and password
or your credit card information) before granting network access. Since the OmniAccess
3500 NLG cannot know in advance the type of access negotiation implemented at
every such place, you will be required to interactively submit your local access
credentials.
To establish connectivity from a location that requires the submission of local-access
credentials, you must complete the following procedure within the time allowed by
your IT administrator (e.g., five minutes):
1. Click Authenticated Network Access Mode on the Make Enterprise Connection
area of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Client window.
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian End-User Reference Guide
6
2. Click Authenticate. A browser window opens, asking you to enter the information
required to access the public network (the OmniAccess 3500 NLG automatically
takes care of the proxy settings for your browser upon entering/exiting this
connectivity scenario).
3. After you enter the required information, the OmniAccess 3500 NLG can establish
the secure tunnel to your company’s network through the public network.
Ho do I view the status of my remote access connection?
You can visually recognize the current status of your connection to your company’s
network by looking at the OmniAccess 3500 NLG icon in your laptop’s icon tray.
A purple icon indicates that you are currently logged into your company’s network. A
yellow icon indicates that the VPN tunnel to your company’s is available, but you have
no access to the network. A red icon indicates that the VPN tunnel to your company’s
network is not available.
By rolling the mouse pointer over the icon, you can display explicit information about
the current status of your card, access connection, VPN tunnel, and network
authentication.
The icon will be blinking (in any of the three states described above) when the laptop
is working unguarded, under the effect of the One-Time-Password (see the What if my
laptop is lost or stolen? section below).
How do I view the status of my 3G access connection?
You can view the status of your 3G access connection by clicking 3G Status on the
OmniAccess 3500 NLG Client window. The 3G Card Properties window appears,
showing detailed information about the 3G functionality of your OmniAccess 3500 NLG
card.
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian End-User Reference Guide
7
How do I update the profile of my 3G data subscription?
It is recommended that you periodically update the data profile of your 3G
subscription through an iOTA session (you should contact your 3G service provider for a
recommended update schedule).
To update the profile, perform the following procedure:
1. On the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Client window, open the Wireless menu and click
Update Data Profile. The Update Data Profile window appears.
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian End-User Reference Guide
8
2. Click Perform OTA. The 3G wireless parameters inside the 3G modem will be
updated.
How do I manage my personal firewall?
ALLOWING AN APPLICATION THROUGH THE FIREWALL
The personal firewall that resides in your OmniAccess 3500 NLG card may prevent
some applications in the laptop from opening network connections. However, a setting
in your personal firewall policy may allow you to override the default decision of the
personal firewall.
If so configured, an OmniAccess 3500 NLG Application Filter window pops up on the
laptop screen every time the personal firewall detects an attempt to open a network
connection by one of your applications. The window offers you the option to allow
(click Yes) or deny (click No) the network connection.
The personal firewall will remember your answer for all future attempts to open a
network connection by the same application. If you want to change your decision for
the application, you need to remove the application from the list of applications for
which the personal firewall has a set allow/deny policy (see the instructions in the
Removing an application from the firewall list section below). The next time the
application tries to open a network connection, you will be asked again if you want to
allow or deny the connection request.
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian End-User Reference Guide
9
VIEWING PERSONAL FIREWALL SETTINGS
The Personal Firewall Settings option in the NLG menu opens a window with the list
off all the applications running on your laptop for which the personal firewall has a set
allow/deny rule.
REMOVING AN APPLICATION FROM THE FIREWALL LIST
You can delete an application from the list of applications that are allowed or denied
through the personal firewall, provided that you have permission to do so. You have
permission to manage the handling of the application in the personal firewall if the
<User> value is shown next to the application in the “Controlled by” column. The
<User> value can only be found next to applications for which you have been
previously asked for an allow/deny decision. Your personal firewall policy may prevent
you from ever making the decision about any application.
To remove an application from the personal firewall list:
1. On the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Client window, open the NLG menu and click
Personal Firewall Settings. The OmniAccess 3500 NLG Firewall Settings window
appears.
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian End-User Reference Guide
10
2. Click an application to highlight it and then click Remove. If you have the
necessary permission, the personal firewall removes the application from the list
of applications with set allow/deny rule. You will be asked to set the rule again
the next time the application tries to open a network connection.
Note: If you try to remove an application over which you have no control, an
error message appears, stating that the item you selected is not under your
control. You will not be allowed to remove the item.
How do I secure my sensitive data?
An encrypted volume can be created in your laptop’s hard disk for storage of sensitive
data and handled like a separate, secure drive. You, as the end user, install the
volume encryption software and select the files to be included in the secure drive,
while the administrator assumes exclusive control over the configuration of the
encrypted volume. If the laptop is stolen, your IT administrator can remotely delete
from your OmniAccess 3500 NLG card the secret password that is needed for
decrypting the data in the secure drive. You are encouraged to store all sensitive files
in your encrypted volume.
The OmniAccess 3500 NLG Release 1.2 is compatible with the TrueCrypt open-source
volume encryption software, Version 4.3a. Other volume encryption solutions or
different TrueCrypt versions are currently not supported. For more detailed
information about the TrueCrypt open-source software, please refer to the
documentation available at www.truecrypt.org. See the following URL for downloading
the volume encryption software: http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads.php
Please note the following:
• Accept all default values during the installation. Any deviation from the default
values may result in an unsuccessful installation.
• During installation, your keyboard and mouse will be locked for a short time. Do
not reboot your laptop as the keyboard and mouse will unlock when the
installation completes after a couple of minutes.
See the following URL for detailed installation instructions:
http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/
CAUTION: After the TrueCrypt software is installed, you MUST NEVER open the
TrueCrypt GUI to view/modify the configuration of the encrypted volume. Opening the
TrueCrypt GUI may render the data stored in the encrypted volume unreadable.
What if my laptop is lost or stolen?
The OmniAccess 3500 NLG offers many ways to protect the contents of your laptop in
the event that the laptop is lost or stolen.
Your administrator can remotely lock your laptop when you realize that the laptop
cannot be physically protected from external intrusions (for example, if you
inadvertently left your laptop unguarded in a public location). You should call your IT
helpdesk immediately after recognizing the ongoing emergency.
A window like the following appears on your laptop’s screen after your administrator
has locked it:
