Connecting to a VPN

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

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 outside the firewall.

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