Connecting to a virtual private network
If you want to use your Treo smartphone 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 smartphone. A VPN
enables you to log in to your corporate
server through the company’s firewall
(security layer). You need a VPN client on
your smartphone if your smartphone 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 to
access the corporate server. If a VPN is
necessary, you must purchase and install a
third-party VPN client on your smartphone
to use this feature.
1 Install your third-party VPN client. See
Installing applications
for details.
2 Press Applications and select
Prefs .
3 Select VPN.
4 Enter the settings provided by your
corporate system administrator.
TIP You can also access the brightness setting
by pressing Option + P. To temporarily dim
the screen’s brightness, press Option +
Menu.
