Connection settings CHAPTER 9 Connecting to a VPN If you want to use your smartphone to access your corporate email account or other files on your corporate server, you may need to set up a VPN (virtual private network). A VPN enables you to log in to your corporate server through the company's firewall (security layer). You need to set up a VPN to access a corporate server in either of the following two situations: • Your company's wireless local area network (LAN) is outside the firewall. • Your company's wireless LAN is inside the firewall, but you are accessing 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. Tip To manually start a data connection on the Verizon Wireless network or another network, go to Connections Settings, on the Tasks tab, select Manage existing connections. Tap and hold the connection you want to start, and then select Connect from the shortcut menu. Some VPN servers require that you install specific VPN software (sold separately) on your smartphone.
