How-To Setup Guide for Users


iPhone 3G is ready for business. It supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, delivering push email,
calendars, and contacts. And it gives mobile users secure access to corporate resources by supporting
a variety of virtual private network (VPN) technologies and secure wireless networks with WPA2 Enterprise
and 802.1X authentication. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up access to these
services on iPhone.

Using This Guide


This guide can be used to create customized materials that support the deployment of iPhone within
your company. It’s organized by chapter and can be tailored to suit the needs of your users or the
specific technologies you support. In addition, custom entry fields are provided so that you can insert
your company’s server and account settings in each step. A customizable notes area at the bottom of
each page can be used to help guide your users along the way.

When customized, this guide serves as a quick reference for users who are setting up access to corporate
services on iPhone for the first time. It can be delivered to your users in print or PDF format, or it can be
hosted on your company’s internal support website.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) Setup
With support for virtual private networking (VPN), you can communicate private information securely
over a nonprivate network. You may need a VPN, for example, to access internal websites hosted on
your corporate intranet.

iPhone can connect to your company’s VPN using the L2TP, PPTP, or Cisco IPSec VPN protocols. VPN
on iPhone works over both Wi-Fi and cellular data network connections, and users can authenticate
via password, two-factor token, or digital certificate.

To set up iPhone to access your VPN, follow the steps in this chapter.
Go to the network setup screen

>>On the Home screen, tap Settings. >>Tap General. >>Tap Network. >>Configuration
Tap VPN. Then tap Add VPN

Wireless Network (Wi-Fi) Setup
iPhone can use local Wi-Fi networks to connect to the Internet. If no Wi-Fi networks are available or if
you’ve turned off Wi-Fi, iPhone connects to the Internet via your cellular data network, when available.
iPhone also supports WPA2 Enterprise with 802.1X authentication—the standard for enterprise Wi-Fi
network protection. These features help provide safe access to company information on iPhone.

For quick setup of iPhone for WPA2 Enterprise, security and authentication settings can be configured
using configuration profiles. For more information, see the chapter, “Configuration Profile and Certificate
Installation.”

To set up iPhone for Wi-Fi access, follow the steps in this chapter.
Go to the Wi-Fi settings screen

>>On the Home screen, tap Settings. >>Tap Wi-Fi. >>Make sure Wi-Fi is on. >>Choose the Wi-Fi network from

IMAP Email Setup
iPhone provides a standards-based approach to email deployment. Typically, iPhone establishes direct
access to an IMAP-enabled server, which can be used, for example, to access mail on a Lotus Notes or
Novell GroupWise mail server.

You can configure multiple IMAP accounts on iPhone. Your service provider or system administrator can
provide the account settings you need.

To set up iPhone to access your corporate email via IMAP, follow the steps in this chapter.
Go to the mail account settings

>>On the Home screen, tap Settings. >>Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars. >>Tap Add Account. >>Tap Other.

Configuration Profile and
Certificate Installation
In an enterprise environment, you can set up accounts and other items on your iPhone by installing a
configuration profile. Configuration profiles allow system administrators to quickly set up your iPhone to
work with the information systems at your company, school, or organization. For example, a configuration
profile might set up your iPhone to access your Microsoft Exchange servers at work.

Configuration profiles can also contain certificates for secure access to your company’s network and
information. Both root and identity certificates can be installed independently of a configuration profile,
using the same basic installation process.

To install a configuration profile or certificate on your iPhone, follow the steps in this chapter.
