Tethering With Xperia Link; Virtual Private Networks (Vpns) - Sony SGP611 User Manual

Tethering with Xperia Link™

If you have an Xperia™ mobile phone, you can share the phone's mobile data
connection with your Xperia™ tablet. This way, your tablet can connect to the
Internet without having to use its own SIM card and data connection. This feature is
useful when you are out and about and don't have a mobile or Wi-Fi® connection on
your tablet. Before you use tethering with Xperia Link™, make sure the Xperia Link™
application is installed and set up on both devices. Also, your Xperia™ phone must
have a camera with auto focus.
The Xperia Link™ application is only supported by Xperia™ phones running the Android™ 4.0
software version or higher. If the Xperia Link™ application is not pre-installed on your Xperia™
phone, you can download it from Google Play™.

Virtual private networks (VPNs)

Use your device to connect to virtual private networks (VPNs), which allow you to
access resources inside a secured local network from a public network. For example,
VPN connections are commonly used by corporations and educational institutions for
users who need to access intranets and other internal services when they are outside
of the internal network, for example, when they are travelling.
VPN connections can be set up in many ways, depending on the network. Some
networks may require you to transfer and install a security certificate on your device.
For detailed information on how to set up a connection to your virtual private
network, please contact the network administrator of your company or organisation.
