relevant data about the Wi-Fi connection you want to connect to.
1. On the Home screen, select Start > Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi
Settings
> Wi-Fi > New.
2. Enter the Network name and Network type and select Next.
Note If you want only to connect directly to another device or computer, and not
to a network through an access point, select This is a device to device (ad-
hoc) connection
.
3. Select the Authentication type and Data encryption and then select
Next. For WPA authentication or TKP, AES, or WEP data encryption,
enter the needed information in the remaining fields.
4. Select Use IEEE 802.1x network access control to use Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP). Select the EAP type
depending on the
type of authentication. Select Finish.
To increase security on the Wi-Fi network
The LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) feature of
Comm Manager provides enhanced security for your phone by helping to
prevent others from accessing your network without your permission.
1. On the Wi-Fi Settings screen, select LEAP.
2. Select Menu > New.
Note By default, the LEAP screen displays data that you entered previously.
However, you can modify or delete the data as required by selecting
Menu >
Modify or Menu > Delete on the LEAP screen.
3. Enter the SSID (Service Set Identifier).
You can obtain this information from T-Mobile.
4. Enter the user name, password, and domain.
5. Select an Authentication Type.
By default, the Authentication Type for your phone is Open System
authentication.
Note For LEAP to work correctly, the receiving phone (your phone) must be set
with the same SSID, user name, and password as the access point.
