home devices to connect to the same home
network. See "Wireless LAN," p. 34.
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 media files saved in Gallery 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
Gallery.
See "View and share media files," p. 84.
Your device is connected to the home network only
if you accept a connection request from another
compatible device, or in Gallery, 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. 151.
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. 150. 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. 82.
Settings for home network
To share media files saved in Gallery with other
compatible UPnP 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. 35. See
"Connection settings," p. 150.
