Using Your Treo 700w Smartphone 207
Connection settings CHAPTER 9
Connecting to a VPN
If you want to use your smartphone to access your corporate email
account or other files on your corporate server, you may need to set
up a VPN (virtual private network). A VPN enables you to log in to your
corporate server through the company’s firewall (security layer).
You need to set up a VPN to access a corporate server in either of
the following two situations:
• Your company’s wireless local area network (LAN) is outside
the firewall.
• Your company’s wireless LAN is inside the firewall, but you are
accessing the network from outside the firewall (for example, from
a public location or at home).
Check with your company’s system administrator to see if a VPN is
required to access the corporate network. If you need a VPN, you
must purchase and install a third-party VPN client to use this feature.
