Connecting to a virtual private network

If you want to use your Treo smartphone to access your corporate email account or other files on your corporate server, you may need to set up a virtual private network (VPN) on your smartphone. A VPN enables you to log in to your corporate server through the company’s firewall (security layer). You need a VPN client on your smartphone if your smartphone and your company’s server are located on opposite sides of the firewall.

Check with your company’s system administrator to see if a VPN is required to access the corporate server. If a VPN is necessary, you must purchase and install a third-party VPN client on your smartphone to use this feature.

1.Install your third-party VPN client. See Installing applications for details.

2.Go to Applications and select Prefs .
