About home network
Your device is compatible with UPnP. Using a wireless LAN
(WLAN) access point device or a WLAN router, you can
create a home network and connect compatible UPnP
devices that support WLAN to the network, such as your
device, a compatible PC, a compatible printer, and a
compatible sound system or television, or a sound system
or a television equipped with a compatible wireless
multimedia receiver.
To use the WLAN function of your device in a home
network, you must have a working WLAN home
connection setup and have other UPnP enabled home
devices to connect to the same home network.
See
"Wireless LAN", p. 93.
The home network uses the security settings of the WLAN
connection. Use the home network feature in a WLAN
infrastructure network with a WLAN access point device
and encryption enabled.
You can share and synchronise media files in your mobile
device with other compatible UPnP devices using the
home network. To manage your home network settings,
press
, and select Tools > Connectivity > Home
media. You can also use the home network to view, play,
copy, or print compatible media files from your mobile
device.
See "View and share media files", p. 81.
Your device is connected to the home network only if you
accept a connection request from another compatible
device, or select the option to view, play, print, or copy
media files on your device or search for other devices in
the Home network folder.
Important security information
When you configure your WLAN home network, enable an
encryption method on your access point device, then on
the other devices you intend to connect to your home
network. Refer to the documentation of the devices. Keep
any passcodes secret and in a safe place separate from
the devices.
You can view or change the settings of the WLAN internet
access point in your device.
See "Access points", p. 147.
If you use the ad hoc operating mode to create a home
network with a compatible device, enable one of the
encryption methods in WLAN security mode when you
configure the internet access point.
