Connecting to virtual private networks
Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow you to connect to the
resources inside a secured local network. VPNs are commonly
deployed by corporations, schools, and other institutions to let
people access local network resources when not on campus, or
when connected to a wireless network.
Depending on the type of VPN you are using, you may be
required to enter your login credentials or install security
certificates before you can connect to your VPN. You can get
this information from your network administrator.
Add a VPN
1. Touch > > Settings > More > VPN.
2. Touch
at the top right corner and fill in the
information provided by your network administrator.
3. Touch SAVE.
The VPN is added to the list on the VPN screen.
NOTE:
You must set a lock screen pattern, PIN or password before
using VPN.
