Setting up VPN

If you want to use your handheld 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 handheld. A VPN 
enables you to log in to your corporate server through the company’s firewall (security layer). 
Without a VPN, you cannot pass 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 situations:

• Your company’s wireless local area network (LAN) is located outside the firewall.

• 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.

administrator.

Once you have installed 
and set up VPN, you can 
connect or disconnect 
VPN from within the web 
browser.
