Connecting to the Mobile Connect Server

To establish a Mobile Connectsession

1. In the Connection list, select the connection that you want to initiate.

   

2. Click Connect.

3. Type your credentials into the Username and Password fields, if prompted (depending on whether the appliance you are connecting to allows for saving usernames and passwords), and then click Login.

   

4. When the connection is successfully established, the Status row changes to Connected and the Connect button changes to Disconnect.

   

   After connecting, you can access your Intranet network with other apps.

   The Mobile Connect menu bar icon indicates the connected state.

   

   The native Mac system VPN Status in the menu bar can also be displayed from the System Preferences app under Network. The VPN Status icon changes to the connected state, and the connection time can be shown.

   

   If the VPN connection is interrupted, the menu bar icons change to indicate that you are no longer connected or that Mobile Connect is reconnecting the VPN, and you are no longer able to access the Intranet network. This can happen if your device connection transitions from one WiFi network to another WiFi network or to another network type.

   If the VPN disconnects, return to SonicWall Mobile Connect to reestablish the connection. Optionally, you can enable the Automatic Reconnect option in the Mobile Connect app Preferences to have Mobile Connect automatically attempt to reestablish interrupted connections.
