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. 170.
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.
See "Connection settings", p. 169. This step
reduces the risk of an unwanted party joining the
ad hoc network.
Your device notifies you if another device attempts
to connect to it and the home network. Do not
accept connection requests from an unknown
device.
If you use WLAN in a network that does not have
encryption, switch off sharing your files with other
devices, or do not share any private media files.
See
"Settings for home network", p. 101.
Settings for home network
To share media files saved in Photos with other
UPnP compatible and DLNA certified devices
through WLAN, you must create and configure your
WLAN home internet access point, then configure
the settings for home network in the Home media
application.
See "WLAN internet access
points", p. 41.See "Connection settings", p. 169.
The options related to home network are not
available in applications before the settings in the
Home media application have been configured.
When you access the Home media application for
the first time, the setup wizard opens and helps you
define the home network settings for your device.
To use the setup wizard later, in the Home media
main view, select Options > Run wizard, and
follow the instructions on the display.
To connect a compatible PC to the home network,
on the PC, you must install the related software. You
get the software from the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
supplied with your device, or you can download it
from the device support pages on the Nokia
website.
