VPN Software

To access HSCN via the token you will first require some VPN Software installed on your device. If you are using a Windows device we would recommend the Cisco VPN Client. Both the 32 Bit and 64 Bit can be downloaded here:

Download Cisco VPN Client 32 Bit

Download Cisco VPN Client 64 Bit

How to find out if your machine is 32 Bit or 64 Bit

Extract the .zip files and run the vpnclient_setup.exe - follow the onscreen instructions.

If you are having issues installing the Cisco VPN Client an alternative would be ShrewVPN which can be downloaded here:

Installing ShrewVPN

If you are having issues installing Cisco on a Windows 10 device please refer to this article here.

Once installed you'll then need to import the Configuration File (known as a Cisco PCF File) that will enable your device to connect to the HSCN network. To do this, download the following PCF File and import into the VPN Client:
