More���\VPN settings
A mobile virtual private network (mobile VPN or mVPN) provides mobile
devices with access to network resources and software applications on
their home network, when they connect via other wireless or wired
networks. Mobile VPNs are used in environments where workers need to
keep application sessions open at all times, throughout the working day,
as the user connects via various wireless networks, encounters gaps in
coverage, or suspends-and-resumes their devices to preserve battery life. A
conventional VPN cannot survive such events because the network tunnel
is disrupted, causing applications to disconnect, time out, fail, or even the
computing device itself to crash.
For more information on VPN, please refer to "6�6 Connecting to
virtual private networks".

More���\NFC
NFC is a new wireless technology that allows devices to communicate with
each other over short distances. Data transfer between the devices occurs
through one of two means: either a quick wave or usually just a touch or
tap. Communication doesn't have to occur between two handheld devices,
like two phones for example. It can also work between a mobile device
and a target of some kind - for example, a point-of-sale system at a store's
checkout counter or even something as simple as a tag, sticker, poster, decal
or card with an embedded NFC chip.

There are 3 primary ways NFC can be used on your mobile devices.
• Smartcard
In this mode, NFC devices can function as credit
cards, debit cards, badges or tickets. This mode
transforms your device into a "mobile wallet.
• Reader/Writer
In this mode, NFC devices can read and writer
tags. Similar to how barcode scanning works.
• P2P
In P2P mode, NFC devices can exchange
information with each other.
Touch the Menu key from the Home screen, then touch Settings/More....
• Mark the checkbox beside NFC to turn on.
