Using Connection Settings
Connecting to a Virtual Private Network
If you want to use your Treo device 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
device. A VPN enables you to log in to your corporate server through the company’s firewall
(security layer). You need a VPN on your device if your device and your company’s server are
located on opposite sides of the firewall.
Check with your company’s system administrator to see if a VPN is required for accessing
the corporate server. If a VPN is necessary, you must purchase and install a third-party VPN
client on your device to use this feature.
1.
Install your third-party VPN client. See “Installing Applications” on page 235 for
details.
2.
Press Applications
and select Prefs .
3.
Select VPN.
4.
Enter the settings provided by your corporate system administrator.
