[ ! ] Before You Begin

You must purchase and install a compatible VPN client onto your handheld. You also need the VPN settings from your corporate system administrator.

Did You Know?

Once you have installed and set up VPN, you can connect or disconnect VPN from within the web browser.

Setting up VPN

If you want to use your handheld 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 handheld. A VPN enables you to log in to your corporate server through the company’s firewall (security layer). Without a VPN, you cannot pass through the firewall to gain access to the server. You need to set up a VPN to access a corporate server in either of the following situations:

•Your company’s wireless local area network (LAN) is located outside the firewall.

•Your company’s wireless LAN is located inside the firewall, but you are trying to access the network from outside the firewall (for example, from a public location or at home).

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