Connecting to Mattel

Make sure you are connected to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). In the address bar of your Internet browser, go to the following URL:

http://www.mattelgateway.com

Click on ‘Mattel VPN’ and then choose the ‘Phoenix’ or ‘El Segundo’ location.

Page 8 4/13/2023

http://www.mattelgateway.com/


The login screen will appear in the browser window with a username and password prompt. If you are a Windows XP user you may receive a ‘Warning – Security’ alert window and an ActiveX control warning as shown in the screenshot below:

In this event, click ‘Always trust content from this publisher’ as well as ‘Run’ and ‘OK’ in each of the windows and you should be able to continue with the login process. Also click on the ActiveX control warning just below the address bar where it says ‘Click here to install…’

Page 9 4/13/2023


Logging into the system

Once the ActiveX or Java process is complete, the logon screen should now be available.

At the login page, use your current Windows System or network login credentials and click Login.

Note: This is the same username and password used on your work computer. The ‘CORP\’ is not needed prior to your username to login to the VPN system

Example of the correct login credentials:

Next read the warning shown and then click ‘Continue’ to complete the login process.

Page 10 4/13/2023


This completes the web portal login process. The next screen is the web portal.

If all checks have passed appropriately, then a screen like the one below should appear with the ‘AnyConnect’ option available to the user.

If there is no ‘AnyConnect’ option available once logged in, please refer to the troubleshooting section titled ‘Why don’t I see the AnyConnect’.

Please Note: Once the AnyConnect client has been started, the portal window is no longer active and should be closed. Any resources that you may have been accessing via the portal will no longer be available once AnyConnect has been started.

Navigating the User Interface – Cisco’s Portal

The Navigation Home Page will have different sections:

Home – Easy access to links will be available here. The links provided here are links to internal Mattel web applications and sites Access to external sites is limited

Web Applications – Web Applications will give you access to Mattel’s Intranet Sites without the need to VPN or a Client installed.

a. Note: The Magic system does not work through the portal; to use that you will need to connect through AnyConnect and access the Magic system directly.

Navigation Portal

ToolbarEvery time you click a web bookmark or Files you will open a new window. To go back, click on the “Menu Tool Bar” at the upper right side of the page.

File Shares

Page 12 4/13/2023

Page 13 4/13/2023


Navigation Portal

If you are on a Mattel laptop, the AnyConnect client should be installed and will simply start giving you the access you require. If you are using your personal computer, the AnyConnect client will automatically install. You may need to approve the installation of this software depending on the security settings of your personal computer.

If you are a Mattel laptop user and the AnyConnect client is not already installed, please contact the Mattel GIT Support Center so that they may assist you in installing the client on your laptop.

You now can access any client applications. Your browser window does not need to stay open to the VPN portal once the AnyConnect client is launched.

Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Active X component does not run or does not install.

A. Make sure you add the SSL site as a Trusted Site. Follow instructions below:Adding a security appliance to the list of trusted sites is required for Internet Explorer 6.0 or later on Windows Vista. We also recommend this procedure for others to eliminate certain security pop-up messages when you connect.Internet Explorer on Vista has "Protected Mode" enabled by default. Adding the security appliance to the trusted sites allows communications with the security appliance, even though "Protected Mode" is enabled.To add the security appliance to the list of trusted sites:

1. Choose Internet Options. To do so, use either of the following methods:

o Choose Start > (Settings >) Control Panel > Internet Options. o Open Internet Explorer and choose Tools > Internet Options.

2. Click the Security tab. 3. Click the Trusted sites icon, and then click the Sites button below. 4. Add the following sites in Trusted Sites window.

1.5. Click Add. 6. Click OK. 7. Click OK on the Security tab.

Q. Unable to reach any of these sites in my web browser.

http://www.mattelgateway.com

A1. Make sure you are connected to the Internet by visiting another site such as http://www.google.com.A2. This connection only works from outside the Mattel network (e.g. on a home or other network).

Page 16 4/13/2023

http://www.google.com/

http://www.mattelgateway.com/


Q. Why don’t I get the AnyConnect option?

A. If when you log in you do not have the option for AnyConnect, then your computer is missing one of the requirements for the AnyConnect option.

1. The computer must meet the minimum Operating systems requirements (See Appendix).

2. The computer must have installed antivirus software with virus definitions updated within the last 15 days that is in the list of approved software packages (See Appendix).

3. The computer must have an approved personal firewall enabled (See Appendix).

Please refer to the Appendix for supported software packages. Unfortunately, the SSL VPN system is not capable of informing you of where your system has failed (Operating System, AntiVirus or Personal Firewall).

Q. Do not know if your user name and password / locked out?

A. Contact the Global IT Support Center.

Q. Access to the Magic system through the portal does not work correctly.

A. Unfortunately at this time Magic does not work correctly using the portal. To access the Magic system you will need to connect via AnyConnect and then open it directly in your browser.

Q. Can I access external sites using the Portal or the AnyConnect Client?

A. Yes, since there are some Mattel Corporate sites that are outside of our corporate network you can access them through the Portal and through the AnyConnect client. When accessing sites such as this (an example would be eTime) through the portal the portal is required to authenticate your user credentials to the proxy server. A screen such as the example below will come up:

Page 17 4/13/2023


Input your network credentials including the ‘corp\’ before your username and the site should be accessible.

To access external sites through the AnyConnect client, your Internet browser must be configured to use the proxy.

Page 18 4/13/2023


Using AnyConnect without the Browser

You can access the AnyConnect client without browsing to the portal site if you know the VPN device name you want to connect to:

Vpnphx.mattel.com (Phoenix)Vpnes.mattel.com (El Segundo)Vpnap.mattel.com (Asia Pacific)Vpneu.mattel.com (Amstelveen)

Click the Start button, then click ‘AnyConnect VPN Client’ and that will start the client without having to use a browser.

Page 19 4/13/2023


This will bring up the client window where you can direct it to the device you want to connect with:

Page 20 4/13/2023


For example, to connect to vpnes.mattel.com you would type in ‘vpnes.mattel.com’ (without the quotes) and then click select. It will take a moment while the computer negotiates the VPN connection.

If you get a messages stating ‘AnyConnect is not enabled on the VPN server’ using this method it is because you are missing one of the requirements defined in the appendix. Refer to the FAQ section titled ‘Why don’t I get the AnyConnect Option?’

Page 21 4/13/2023


Macintosh How-To

Mac systems are supported but sometimes require a bit of help when connecting to the SSL VPN system. The preferred Mac browser for SSL VPN is Safari. Once connected to the SSL VPN site of choice you may be presented with the following screens:

This indicates that the Cisco applet needs to be associated with Java Web Start to run properly. To do this, click ‘Open with’ and then click ‘Choose.’

Then browse to Applications, Utilities, Java and choose ‘Java Web Start’ and then click ‘Open.’

Page 22 4/13/2023


Once that is complete the next window should appear, click ‘OK’ and the connection progress should continue.

Page 23 4/13/2023


Next the ‘Swordfish app’ should start and it will likely prompt you to ‘trust’ it or not. Confirm that it should be trusted to allow it to continue.

Once that is complete, you should see the login web page and be able to follow the same instructions for use as the Windows users. You should see a window like the one shown here to control the AnyConnect client.

Page 24 4/13/2023


To disconnect, right click on the AnyConnect icon in the upper right hand corner next to the system clock and click ‘Disconnect’ or simply click ‘Disconnect’ in the control window for the client.
