Click Next and then click Finish.

Double-Click your new connection.  Upon the first attempt you will be prompted for your pre-shared key.  Enter the information you were provided and click to move on.  Note that the pre-shared key is NOT your username or password.  If you do not have a pre-shared key then please reach out to us to retrieve it, or check the Bibliotek documentation portal found at http://bibliotek.whyreboot.com.

Next you will be prompted for your username and password.  Enter those and if this is the first time you are connecting it will prompt you TWICE for this info.

That should be it.  If you receive an authentication error then please remember that all fields are CASE SENSITIVE.
