Network

Use Network settings to configure a VPN (virtual private network) connection or access your Wi-Fi settings.

Add a new VPN configuration: Choose General > Network > VPN > Add VPN Configuration.

VPNs used within organizations allow you to communicate private information securely over a non-private network. You may need to configure VPN, for example, to access your work email on iPad.

iPad can connect to VPNs that use the L2TP, PPTP, or Cisco IPSec protocols. VPN works over both Wi-Fi and cellular data network (iPad Wi-Fi + 3G only) connections.

Ask your network administrator which settings to use. In most cases, if you’ve set up VPN on your computer, you can use the same VPN settings for iPad.

Once you enter VPN settings, a VPN switch appears in the Settings menu, which you can use to turn VPN on or off.

VPN may also be automatically set up by a configuration profile. See “Using Configuration Profiles” on page 158.

Change a VPN configuration: Choose General > Network > VPN and tap the configuration you want to update.

Turn VPN on or off: Tap Settings, then turn VPN on or off. When VPN is on, you see the

icon in the status bar at the top of the screen.

Delete a VPN configuration: Choose General > Network > VPN, tap the blue arrow to the right of the configuration name, then tap Delete VPN at the bottom of the configuration screen.

Bluetooth

iPad can connect wirelessly to an Apple Wireless Keyboard for wireless typing or to Bluetooth headphones for wireless listening. See “Using Bluetooth Devices” on page 43.

Turn Bluetooth on or off: Choose General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth on or off. When Bluetooth is on, you see the Bluetooth icon in the status bar at the top of the screen.

Location Services

Location Services allows apps such as Maps to gather and use data based on your location. Location Services doesn’t correlate the data it collects with your personally identifiable information. Your approximate location is determined using available information from local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on). iPad Wi-Fi + 3G also uses cellular networks and GPS to determine your location.

When an app is using location services, appears in the status bar.
