Virtual Private Networks
If you want to use your Treo 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 Treo. A VPN enables you to log in to your corporate server through the
company’s firewall (security layer). Without a VPN, you cannot break through the
firewall to gain access to the server.
You need to set up a VPN to access a corporate server in either of the following
two situations:
䢇
Your company’s wireless local area network (LAN) is located outside the
firewall.
䢇
Your company’s wireless LAN is located inside the firewall, but you are trying
to access 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.
1.
Install your third-party VPN client. See“Installing Applications” on page 112
for details.
2. Go to Applications
and select Prefs .
3. Select VPN.
4. Enter the settings provided by your corporate system administrator.
Note:
The
Auto Sync
feature in the VersaMail
®
application may not work with a
VPN connection.
