VPN

VPNs used within organizations allow you to communicate private information securely over a
non-private network. You may need to configure VPN, for example, to access your work email. Ask
the network’s administrator for the settings necessary to configure VPN for your network. After
one or more VPN settings are defined you can:

Turn VPN on or off: Go to Settings > VPN.

Switch between VPNs: Go to Settings > General > VPN, then choose a configuration.

iTunes Wi-Fi Sync

You can sync iPad with iTunes on a computer that’s connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Enable iTunes Wi-Fi Sync: To set up Wi-Fi syncing for the first time, connect iPad to the
computer that you want to sync with. For instructions see

Syncing with iTunes

on page 16.

After you configure Wi-Fi Sync, iPad automatically syncs with iTunes once a day, when:

iPad is connected to a power source,

iPad and your computer are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and

iTunes on your computer is running.

Spotlight Search

The Spotlight Search setting lets you specify the content areas searched by Search, and
rearrange the order of the results.
Set which content areas are searched by Search: Go to Settings > General > Spotlight Search,
then select the items to search. You can also change the order of the result categories.

Auto-Lock

Locking iPad turns off the display in order to save the battery and prevent unintended operation
of iPad. You can still receive messages and listen to music.
Set the amount of time before iPad locks: Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock, then choose
a time.

Passcode Lock

By default, iPad doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it.
Set a passcode: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock, then set a 4-digit passcode. To
increase security, turn off Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode.
If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPad software. See

Updating and restoring iPad

software

on page 131.

Allow access when iPad is locked: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock. You can use Siri
without unlocking iPad. See

Setting options for Siri

on page 38.

Erase data after ten failed passcode attempts: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock, then
tap Erase Data. After ten failed passcode attempts, all settings are reset, and all your information
and media are erased by removing the encryption key to the data (which is encrypted using
256-bit AES encryption).
