Network

Use the Network settings to configure a VPN (virtual private network) connection, or
access Wi-Fi settings.

Add a new VPN configuration: Choose General > Network > VPN > Add VPN
Configuration.

VPNs used within organizations allow you to communicate private information
securely over a non-private network. You may need to configure VPN, for example, to
access your work email on iPod touch.

iPod touch can connect to VPNs that use the L2TP, PPTP, or Cisco IPSec protocols. VPN
works over both Wi-Fi and cellular data network connections.

Ask your network administrator which settings to use. In most cases, if you’ve set up
VPN on your computer, you can use the same VPN settings for iPod touch.

Once you’ve entered VPN settings, a VPN switch appears at the top level of the
Settings menu that you can use to turn VPN on or off.

Change a VPN configuration: Choose General > Network > VPN and tap the
configuration you want to update.

Turn VPN on or off: Tap Settings and turn VPN on or off.

Delete a VPN configuration: Choose General > Network > VPN, tap the blue arrow
to the right of the configuration name, and tap Delete VPN at the bottom of the
configuration screen.

Use Wi-Fi: See “Wi-Fi” on page 88.

Location Services

Location Services allows applications such as Maps to gather and use data indicating
your location. Location Services does not correlate the data it collects with your
personally identifiable information. Your approximate location is determined using
available information from local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on).

You can turn Location Services off if you don’t want to use this feature. If you turn
Location Services off, you’ll be prompted to turn it back on again the next time an
application tries to use this feature.

Turn Location Services on or off: Choose General > Location Services and turn
location services on or off.

Note: To conserve battery life, turn Locations Services off when you’re not using it.
