To view details on EAP (extensible authentication protocol) security modules, select Connections > Wireless LAN, and select the
Security page. The page contains a list of the installed EAP modules that are used in a wireless LAN to relay port access requests
between wireless devices, wireless LAN access points, and authentication servers. Select a module, and press View details. Each
of these modules can be modified together with Internet access points.
Specifying wireless LAN settings
You can change settings that are common to all wireless LAN connections.
To modify general wireless LAN settings, select Connections > Wireless LAN, and select the Settings page.
Define the following:
• Background scan interval — Specify how often you want the device to scan for available networks. To reduce battery
consumption, select Never. The wireless LAN icon is displayed in the indicator area when a network is found.
• WLAN power saving — If you have problems establishing a wireless LAN connection, try selecting Disabled. If you select
Disabled, the power consumption increases when a wireless LAN connection is used.
To modify advanced wireless LAN settings, select Connections > Wireless LAN. Select the Settings page, and press Advanced
settings. Press OK.
Define the following:
• Automatic configuration — Select Off if you want to specify the advanced wireless LAN settings manually. Do not change the
settings manually unless you are sure how each setting affects system performance. System performance may drop
dramatically if automatic settings are not used.
• Ad hoc channel — Specify the radio frequency channel on which you want to set up an ad hoc network. Select Automatic if
you want to be allocated an available channel automatically.
• Long retry limit — Specify the maximum number of transmission attempts of a frame whose size is greater than the RTS
(request to send) threshold.
• Short retry limit — Specify the maximum number of transmission attempts of a frame whose size is less than or equal to the
RTS threshold.
• RTS threshold — Determines the data packet size at which the wireless LAN access point issues a request to send before
sending the packet.
• TX power level — Specify the power level used when transmitting data.
To use the original factory settings, press Restore defaults.
Creating a basic Internet access point for a wireless LAN
You can quickly create an Internet access point that contains all the basic settings. An Internet access point is needed to connect
to the Internet.
To create a basic Internet access point, select Connections > Wireless LAN, and select the Networks page. Select the network
or wireless LAN access point for which you want to create the Internet access point, and press Create access point. Press OK, and
you are asked for the WEP key or WPA/WPA2 settings if required by the network. If the network does not require these security
settings, you are shown details on the new Internet access point. Press OK.
For instructions on modifying the WEP key or EAP module settings, see the Help function in the device.
You can also create an Internet access point in more detail. See "Setting up an Internet access point for a wireless LAN," p. 69.

Select from the following options:
• PC Suite connection — Select this to use the data cable to connect to PC Suite.
• IP passthrough — Select this to connect your device to a compatible PC and use the Internet or network connection of the PC.
• IP passthrough overrides PC Suite — Select this to automatically terminate a PC Suite connection via data cable when you
connect your device to a compatible PC and use the Internet or network connection of the PC.
