iPad, iPod and iPhone Setup Tasks This document is a guide for Victoria University staff and post-graduate students for setting up an iPad, iPod Touch or an iPhone to access University resources.
Connecting to a wireless network Your device can connect to a local wireless network to access email, internet and application content. Most wireless networks require a username and password or code before they can be connected to and used. 1 - Click the Home button and touch Settings
3 – Click the Home button and open Safari. Enter the relevant username and password for the wireless network
2 – Touch the Wi-Fi tab and ensure Wi-Fi is On. Once available, touch the relevant local wireless network e.g. ‘victoria’ for VUW’s network access
Connecting to a mobile network If your device has a mobile SIM card installed, you can access email, internet and application content where ever there is a mobile signal. A mobile network connection is also valuable when travelling overseas. Only follow these instructions if your device has a mobile SIM card installed. 1 - Click the Home button and touch Settings
3 – If installing your own SIM, your providers APN Settings will also need to be entered to access the internet. To do this touch APN Settings and then APN.
2 – Touch the Cellular Data tab and ensure Cellular Data is On. If you are outside of New Zealand, Data Roaming will also need to be enabled while travelling.
APN Settings for New Zealand providers are: Telecom: internet.telecom.co.nz Vodafone: www.vodafone.net.nz 2 Degrees: internet TelstraClear: www.telstraclear.net.nz Note: When overseas, please turn Cellular Data OFF when not in use. This will restrict the amount of data used when overseas which can decrease potentially large phone bills.

Setting a passcode on your device Setting a passcode on your device adds a level of security in case of loss or theft. Without a passcode the device will let anyone who has it send email and read documents on the device. 1 - Click the Home button and touch Settings
2 – Touch the General tab and then Passcode Lock
3 - Touch Turn Passcode On
4 – Enter and confirm a 4 digit number that you will remember

This is recommended if your device has sensitive data or account information on it. To do this, select Erase Data to on and accept the warning when setting up your passcode.
Restricting devices for Research and Teaching projects Devices can be restricted to only allow use of particular applications and functionality.

Click the Home button and touch Settings
2 – Touch the General tab and then Restrictions
3 - Touch Enable Restrictions

Turning off ‘Installing Apps’ or ‘Deleting Apps’ means only the currently installed applications will be able to be used on the device and cannot be removed. To use the device for one or two particular applications, install the required applications and then turn ‘Installing Apps’ and ‘Deleting Apps’ off. Allow Changes: Restricts the ability to turn on location service (like GPS) or add/remove accounts on the device. Allowed Content: Provides the ability to restrict what content can be purchased or viewed on the device. You can disable further application purchasing and restrict content to age limits. Game Center: Restricts the use of Game Center functions online game play.

All wireless connections will turn off and not turn back on if you power down the device.
