iPhone iPod touch VPN Guide
Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch can connect to Marist’s wireless network. In order to do this, they must be running software/firmware version 2.0 or higher—this includes the Cisco IPsec VPN client. The VPN client ensures that only authenticated users are using the wireless and protects your data and privacy by encrypting the transmission. This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to connect your iPhone or iPod touch to the wireless network so you can browse the web, check email, view YouTube videos, et cetera.
All current models of the iPhone & iPod touch come with version 2.0+ software/firmware preinstalled. Older models of these devices may not. Version 2.0 was released in the summer of 2008. This is a free update for the iPhone and costs approximately $10 for the iPod touch. The first step before connecting is to make sure you’re running at least version 2.0.
