Connecting to a Firewall or SMA 100 Series
After you save a new connection, the Connections screen displays the list of all configured connections.
Connections screen
To initiate a Mobile Connect session
-
In the list, tap the connection that you want to initiate. The Connection status page displays.
-
Tap the VPN on/off switch to turn on the VPN.
-
The first time you initiate a connection a Connection Request message displays. Tap OK to continue.
-
When the connection is successfully established, the Status changes to Connected and the VPN switch remains in the ON position.
If this sequence of events does not match what is displayed on your device, you are connecting to a SonicWall SMA 1000 Series. See Connecting to an SMA 1000 Series.
Any bookmarks defined for the portal are displayed below the Status line, and allow you to navigate directly to the bookmark's destination. Bookmarks only appear after a VPN connection is established to a server that is running firmware that supports Mobile Connect bookmarks, and bookmarks have been defined for that user.
-
Press the Home button to return to your device's home screen. You can now navigate to other apps to access your Intranet network.
The status bar displays a VPN icon
to indicate that the session is still connected.
If the VPN connection is interrupted, the VPN icon will disappear and you will no longer be able to access the Intranet network. This can happen if your device's connection transitions to a different network connection (for example, from Wi‐Fi to cellular).
Return to Mobile Connect to reestablish the connection. Optionally, you can configure the Automatic Reconnect option on the Settings screen to have Mobile Connect automatically attempt to reestablish interrupted connections.
