Adding the Data Connection Widget Add the Data connection widget to the Home screen to make it faster for you to turn the device's data connection on or off.

Connecting to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) From your device, you can add, set up, and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) that allow you to connect and access resources inside a secured local network, such as your corporate network. Preparing Your Device for VPN Connection Depending on the type of VPN you are using at work, you may be required to enter your login credentials or install security certificates before you can connect to your company's local network. You can get this information from your network administrator. Also, your device must first establish a Wi-Fi or data connection before you can initiate a VPN connection. For information about setting up and using these connections on your device, see "Launching a Web Connection" and "Turning Wi-Fi On and Connecting to a Wireless Network." 182 3B. Web and Data Services
