Connected to SIM services – You have established a connection to SIM
services. To end the connection, click Disconnect.
Before you can take advantage of the SIM services, you must subscribe to
these services from your service provider or network operator and obtain
instructions for use.
Ad hoc network – You have either established or joined an ad hoc network.
No network – You have selected Off as a connection type and are not
connected to any network.
Setting up and joining ad hoc networks
Ad hoc networks allow wireless stations to communicate directly with each other
without any WLAN access points. The stations can, for instance, share folders. One
user creates the ad hoc network and other users then join the network.
See “Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)” on page 10 for more information on ad
hoc networks.
To connect to an ad hoc network:
1 On the Profiles page, select the General tab and click Select.
2 The Select Connection dialog box opens. Open the Easy connection profile
and select the WLAN (ad hoc) connection type. Click OK.
3 If you are starting an ad hoc network, type the network name. If you are joining
a network, select the network name from the list box. Click OK.
Tip: Create your own profile for ad hoc networking with the profile wizard if
you use the ad hoc operating mode frequently. This saves you from having to
select a network each time and allows for quicker access. See “Creating new
profiles” on page 26 for more information.
Ending network connections
Closing the Monitor or Manager window does not quit the program or end an
existing network connection. To end a connection, select the connection type Off
for a profile. See Figure 5 on page 20.
You can end the network connection also by stopping and removing the radio
card.
Removing the radio card
You should always stop the radio card before removing it from the PC card slot of
your computer. To stop the card, right-click the Nokia D211 icon on the taskbar
