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
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.
Before you begin setting up a VPN, ask
your system administrator for the following
information:
• Your username and password
• Your server’s domain name
• Your server’s TCP/IP settings
• Your server’s host name or IP address
TIP Some VPN servers require that you install
specific VPN software (sold separately) on
your smartphone. For more information go to
