In 17 months (July 1, 2011) Penn State will phase out the need for Cisco VPN to authenticate, login, and use wireless network access at Penn State campus locations.

Note: If you use wireless networks at a Penn State campus, you'll need to follow step-by-step connection and setup instructions and/or perform a onetime download and configuration of the Penn State Wireless 2.0 client.

Once the Penn State Wireless 2.0 service is setup, you no longer have to download VPN or relaunch a VPN session when moving from building to building on your campus.

Note: If you use the College's AG Exchange server, you will still use the 'ISPtoPSU' VPN connection entry to read your E-mail while out of the office.
