VPN
What is VPN?
If you want to use your phone to access files on your company’s servers, you
may need to set up a VPN (virtual private network). You can do this using
the Palm VPN application. 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 any of the following 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
for accessing the corporate network.
Add a VPNC VPN profile
VPNC is a Cisco-compatible IPSEC client.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Get the following information from your system
administrator:
• Profile name
• VPN server
• Username and password
• Group ID
• Group secret
• Domain
TIP Being connected to VPN may sometimes interfere with web browsing. If you
are having problems browsing in Web, disconnect VPN (see Disconnect from a
profile ) and then try using Web again.
