If your device receives no data for an extended period of time, the connection will terminate. Can I sign out of data services? You can sign out without turning off your device; however, you will not be able to browse the Web or use other data services (unless you establish a Wi-Fi connection.) While signed out, you can still place or receive phone calls, check voicemail, and use other voice services. You may sign in again at any time. To sign out, go to Settings > Wireless & networks and clear the Mobile network check box. Virtual Private Networks (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. Prepare 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. Before you can initiate a VPN connection, your device must first establish a Wi-Fi or data connection. For information about setting up and using these connections on your device, see Launch a Web Connection and Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network. Set Up Secure Credential Storage If your network administrator instructs you to download and install security certificates, you must first set up the device's secure credential storage. 1. Touch > > Settings > Security > Set password. 2. Enter a new password (at least eight characters without any spaces) for the credential storage, scroll down and confirm the password, and then touch OK. 3. Select the Use secure credentials check box. You can then download and install the certificates needed to access your local network. Your network administrator can tell you how to do this. Add a VPN Connection 1. Touch > > Settings > Wireless & networks > VPN settings. 2. Touch Add VPN, and then touch the type of VPN you want to add. 3. Touch VPN settings and set them up according to the security details you have obtained from your network administrator. 4. When finished, touch > Save. Web and Data 161
