WLAN settings
Select Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection >
Wireless LAN.
To have an indicator displayed when there is a WLAN
available in your current location, select Show WLAN
availability > Yes.
To select the interval for your device to scan for available
WLANs and update the indicator, select Scan for networks.
This setting is not available unless you select Show WLAN
availability > Yes.
Advanced WLAN settings
Select Options > Advanced settings. The advanced WLAN
settings are normally defined automatically, and changing
them is not recommended.
To edit the settings manually, select Automatic
configuration > Disabled, and define the following:
• Long retry limit — Enter the maximum number of
transmission attempts if the device does not receive a
receiving acknowledgement signal from the network.
• Short retry limit — Enter the maximum number of
transmission attempts if the device does not receive a
clear-to-send signal from the network.
• RTS threshold — Select the data packet size at which the
WLAN access point device issues a request to send before
sending the packet.
• TX power level — Select the power level of your device
when sending data.
• Radio measurements — Enable or disable the radio
measurements.
• Power saving — Select whether to use the WLAN power
saving mechanism to save the power in the device battery.
Using the power saving mechanism enhances the battery
performance but may weaken WLAN interoperability.
To restore all settings to their original values, select
Options > Restore defaults.
WLAN security settings
Select Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access
points > Options > New access point, or select an access
point and Options > Edit.
In the access point settings, select WLAN security mode and
the desired mode.
WEP security settings
Select WEP as the WLAN security mode.
The wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encryption method
encrypts data before it is transmitted. Access to the network
is denied to users who do not have the required WEP keys.
When the WEP security mode is in use, and your device
receives a data packet not encrypted with the WEP keys, the
data is discarded.
In an ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same WEP key.
