1.). Click the padlock to allow system changes.
2.) Click "Allow" to enable all content from Cisco.

If it is not already filled in, enter "connect.meadowbrook-ma.org" in the text bar, then click "Connect." Enter your username and password in the dialog and if everything is ok, you will now be connected to the VPN.
If all is successful, you will see a green globe with a yellow padlock in the top right of your screen like this:
Click the globe and select " Disconnect" when you're done.
