I've been using my A2109 for about a month and a half now and have started to adapt it to my working life and style. I am an IT systems Administrator, and my driving factor behind getting a tablet was to make IOS and Android tablet functionality available to my end user community as we have recently rolled with a BYOD policy. I have run into a few problems i was hoping for help on though.
I'll start by saying I am an infrastructure and networking guy, not an applications designer.
for my purposes I've found many great tools, that i run from my Tablet and my Galaxy S3 phone. and they all seem to work the same on both of the devices, however the VPN functionality is a stumbling block that i can't seem to get around. I am trying to connect to a multitude of Cisco ASA devices, ranging in their software Versions. I keep running into the same problem though. DH Group number mismatch from the Tablet device only. the phone connects and functions perfectly over the VPN. the Tablet will connect but is unable to actually do anything, and when a network resource is accessed, it times out and breaks the connection (unclean break, tablets offline, but ASA keeps the SA in it's tables for a significant amount of time)
I've been reading around on this, and it sound as though Certain Android device manufacturers don't play so well with Cisco VPN's? is there any truth to that. Is there a way to get around this, that does not include Rooting the device? Should i decide i wanted to try rooting the Device (which i currently have no idea how to do or what it'll get me anyway) where can I find instructions on how to do this?
My other question is, in searching for support on the Lenovo site i found two downloads, are these items i should have loaded on my tablet or does Lenovo push these directly. My current Android OS version is 4.1.1, and I notice my phone is running 4.1.2 is there a way to update the tablet to catch up?
Any help or advice is much appreciated. I have tried to STFD, but did not come up with the answers I am looking for.
Thanks,
Beer
