Connecting to a VPN from Your Unit
Connecting to a VPN from Your Unit
Note: Only administrator-level users can install software under Windows XP.
However, when the installation is complete, all users have the possibility to
connect to a VPN from the unit.
You can connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from your unit if you
install one of the supported VPN clients (applications). Such clients allow
you to connect to the VPN of your company from anywhere in the world
and have access to network resources as if your unit was connected locally
to the network. This could be useful if you need to transfer data to a
centralized folder on the company’s private network, for example.
To establish the communication between the VPN client and the VPN
server, you can use either a 3G USB modem key (see Accessing the Internet
with a 3G USB Modem Key on page 97) or a standard Ethernet connection.
Note: Since all networks are different, the parameters that you need to configure
before being able to connect to the VPN may vary. For information on the
configuration specific to your network, see with your network
administrator.
If you ever need to change to another VPN client or remove it, use the
Add/Remove Programs utility from Windows.
