CHAPTER 25 Customizing Your Handheld
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.
