17 | SonicWALL Mobile Connect for Android User Guide
The following options are controlled from the Settings tab:
• Connect on Launch - Sets Mobile Connect to automatically initiate a connection to the
last-used profile when it is launched.
• Automatic Reconnect - Sets Mobile Connect to automatically attempt to reconnect if the
connection is lost. The SSL VPN connection can be disrupted when your device’s
connection transitions to a different network type (for example, from Wi-Fi to 3G). This
setting lets applications rely on a sustained VPN connection. There is no limit on the
amount of time it takes to reconnect.
• URL Control - Allows other mobile applications to pass action requests using special URLs to
Mobile Connect. These action requests can create VPN connection entries and connect or
disconnect VPN connections. For example, another application can launch Mobile Connect,
access internal resources as needed, and then disconnect by using the mobileconnect://
or sonicwallmobileconnect:// URL scheme. Some common examples of URL Control are:
Add profile
: mobileconnect://addprofile[/
]?name=ConnectionName&server=ServerAddress[&Parameter1=Value&Parameter2
=Value...]
Connect
: mobileconnect://connect[/
]?[name=ConnectionName|server=ServerAddress][&Parameter1=Value&Parameter2
=Value...]
Disconnect
: mobileconnect://disconnect[/]
Additional information about URL Control is provided in URL Control Syntax and
Parameters on page 18.
• Bookmarks - Displays centrally configured shortcuts (called bookmarks) to VPN resources
like web pages, Remote Desktop servers, files, and terminal servers. These bookmarks,
which are displayed on the main Connection tab when the VPN is connected, provide one-
touch access to frequently used applications.
If using a SRA appliance, pulling down the Connection screen and releasing it refreshes
the bookmarks. Mobile Connect supports Remote Desktop options like screen size and
enable/disable audio as long as both the server bookmark and third party application
support the option.
Note Bookmarks are supported on SRA appliances only when running 7.0 or higher and
not supported on Next Generation Firewall appliances running SonicOS.
Additional information about bookmarks is provided in Bookmarks.
• Files > Delete Cached Files - Deletes all cached files that have been downloaded and
stored on the device. Note that cached files are stored encrypted on the device for added
security.
Note Files are supported on SRA appliances only when running 7.5 or higher and not
supported on appliances running SonicOS.
Additional information about Files is provided in Files Bookmarks.
• Logs > Debug Logging - Enables full debug log messages of Mobile Connect activity.
Leave this setting disabled unless instructed to enable it by Dell SonicWALL Support staff.
• Logs > Clear Logs - Deletes all log files saved on the device.
The Support section of the Settings tab provides the following support information:
• User Guide - Displays the SonicWALL Mobile Connect User Guide.
