Using Connection Settings

Connecting to a Virtual Private Network

If you want to use your Centro device 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 device. A VPN enables you to log in to your corporate server through the company’s firewall (security layer). You need a VPN on your device if your device 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 for accessing the corporate server. If a VPN is necessary, you must purchase and install a third-party VPN client on your device to use this feature.

Note:

For information about third-party VPN client software, visit

1.Install your third-party VPN client. See “Installing Applications” on page 249 for details.

2.Press Applications and select Prefs .

3.Select VPN.

4.Enter the settings provided by your corporate system administrator.
