306 Section 6B: Customizing Your Device
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 255
for details.
2. Go to Applications and select Prefs .
3. Select VPN.
4. Enter the settings provided by your corporate system administrator.
Note:
For information about third-party VPN client software, see the Palm
Software Installation CD or visit www.palm.com/mytreo700pSprint.
