Connecting to a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Your phone administrator can set up a VPN that allows you to use your phone at an offsite
location to securely connect to the company phone network over the Internet. You will need to
get from your phone administrator the IP address of the VPN, your username, and password.
To configure your phone for use with a VPN:
Press the Setup button.
Scroll to Network Configuration and press Select.
Scroll to VPN and press the Right Arrow key.
Enter the IP address of the VPN server. You need to get this information from your phone
administrator.
Press the Down Arrow key to enter your user name.
Press the Down Arrow key to enter your password.
Press the Down Arrow key to enter the tunnel group (typically not required).
(Optional) If you want your phone to connect to the VPN every time it starts up (for example,
if you will always be using it at an offsite location), press the Down Arrow key to the
Connect on Bootup field, and press the Right Arrow key to check this field.
