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 virtual private network (VPN) on your
Treo. A VPN enables you to log in to your
corporate server through the company’s
firewall (security layer). You need a VPN
client on your Treo 680 if your Treo 680 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 to
access the corporate server. If a VPN is
necessary, you must purchase and install a
third-party VPN client on your Treo 680 to
use this feature.
TIP You can also access the brightness setting
by pressing Option + P. To temporarily set the
backlight to the preset low setting, press
Option + Menu.
TIP For information about third-party VPN
client software, see the Palm Software
Installation CD or visit www.palm.com/
