Connecting To A Virtual Private Network - palmOne Treo 650 Using Manual

Connecting to a virtual private network

If you want to use your 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). Without a VPN, you cannot break 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
two 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.
1. Install your third-party VPN client. See "Installing applications" on page 169
for details.
2. Go to Applications
3. Select VPN.
4. Enter the settings provided by your corporate system administrator.
