310 Section 6B: Customizing Your Smart Device
Connecting to a VPN
If you want to use your smart device 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:
䢇 Your company’s wireless local area network (LAN) is outside the firewall.
䢇 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 for
accessing the corporate network. If you need a VPN, you must purchase and
install a third-party VPN client to use this feature.
Before you begin setting up a VPN, ask your system administrator for the
following information:
䢇 Your username and password.
䢇 Your server’s domain name.
䢇 Your server’s TCP/IP settings.
䢇 Your server’s host name or IP address.

A common cause of sync problems is the presence of protective software,
such as VPNs or firewalls, on your computer or network. See “ActiveSync
Does Not Respond to Sync Attempt” on page 334.
