About home network
Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and
Play (UPnP) and certified by Digital Living Network
Alliance (DLNA). You can use a wireless LAN (WLAN)
access point device or a WLAN router to create a
home network. Then you can connect compatible
UPnP devices that support WLAN to the network.
Compatible devices may be your mobile device, a
compatible PC, sound system, or television, or a
compatible wireless multimedia receiver connected
to a sound system or a television.
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. 43.
After setting up your home network you can share
photos, music, and video with your friends and
family at home. You are also able to store your
media to a media server or retrieve media files from
a compatible home server. You can play music
stored in your Nokia N79 using a DLNA certified
home stereo system, controlling the playlists and
volume levels directly from your Nokia N79. You can
also view images captured with the camera of your
Nokia N79 on a compatible TV screen, all controlled
with the Nokia N79 over WLAN.
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 enable the home
network functionality and manage the settings,
press
, and select Tools > Connectivity >
Home media. You can also use the home network
to view, play, and copy compatible media files to
and from your mobile device.
See "View and share
media files", p. 113.
