Network
Use the Network settings to congure a VPN (virtual private network) connection, or
access Wi-Fi settings.
Add a new VPN conguration: Choose General > Network > VPN > Add VPN
Conguration.
VPNs used within organizations allow you to communicate private information
securely over a non-private network. You may need to congure VPN, for example, to
access your work email on iPod touch.
iPod touch can connect to VPNs that use the L2TP, PPTP, or Cisco IPSec protocols. VPN
works over both Wi-Fi and cellular data network connections.
Ask your network administrator which settings to use. In most cases, if you’ve set up
VPN on your computer, you can use the same VPN settings for iPod touch.
Once you’ve entered VPN settings, a VPN switch appears at the top level of the
Settings menu that you can use to turn VPN on or o.
Change a VPN conguration: Choose General > Network > VPN and tap the
conguration you want to update.
Turn VPN on or o: Tap Settings and turn VPN on or o.
Delete a VPN conguration: Choose General > Network > VPN, tap the blue arrow
to the right of the conguration name, and tap Delete VPN at the bottom of the
conguration screen.
Use Wi-Fi: See “Wi-Fi” on page 88.
Location Services
Location Services allows applications such as Maps to gather and use data indicating
your location. Location Services does not correlate the data it collects with your
personally identiable information. Your approximate location is determined using
available information from local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on).
You can turn Location Services o if you don’t want to use this feature. If you turn
Location Services o, you’ll be prompted to turn it back on again the next time an
application tries to use this feature.
Turn Location Services on or o: Choose General > Location Services and turn
location services on or o.
Note: To conserve battery life, turn Locations Services o when you’re not using it.
