Equipment kit
In your One Device equipment kit, you will be given the following equipment:

Set up your workspace
The laptop can be used as you move between your office to home workspace. The rest of the equipment can be set up at whichever location you would prefer.
Connect everything to the dock
The ThinkPad docks can be used to connect monitors and other peripherals to your laptop with just one cable.

Power cable
Plug one end of the power cable into the dock, and the other end into an outlet or surge protector.

Ethernet (internet) cable
From home you can use Wi-Fi, but on campus, Wi-Fi is limited and hard-wiring to the network is necessary.
Plug in the
blue Ethernet (internet) cable found in your office, if you are on campus.

HDMI or Display Port (monitor) cable
Plug the monitor(s) into the dock using the provided
DisplayPort or
HDMI cables.

USB keyboard cable
Plug the USB
keyboard into the USB ports on the dock.

Laptop cable
Use the included USB-C cable to connect your
laptop to the dock.

Once everything is connected, press the button on top on the dock to turn it on.

Accessing College resources
When you are working off-campus, connect to the Columbus State virtual private network (VPN) for the best remote work experience. The VPN will give you access to resources that are normally only available on-campus. These resources include network drives, campus printers, and select websites. It also helps IT manage updates and technical support for your device.
To connect to the VPN, use Cisco AnyConnect to sign in. Then verify your account for multi-factor authentication (MFA) with your Duo enrolled mobile device. For detailed instructions, review this related resource: How to Connect to CSCC VPN.
