Connections
Your device offers several options to connect to the
internet or to another compatible device or PC.
Wireless LAN
Your device supports wireless local area network
(WLAN). With WLAN, you can connect your device to the
internet and compatible devices that have WLAN.
About WLAN
To use WLAN, it must be available in the location, and
your device must be connected to the WLAN. Some
WLANs are protected, and you need an access key from
your service provider to connect to them.
Some places, like France, have restrictions on the use
of wireless LAN. Check with your local authorities for
more information.
Features that use WLAN, or that are allowed to run in
the background while using other features, increase
the demand on battery power and reduce the battery
life.
Your device supports the following WLAN features:
● IEEE 802.11b/g standard
● Operation at 2.4 GHz
● Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to 128
bits, Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and 802.1x
encryption methods. These functions can be used
only if they are supported by the network.
WLAN connections
To use WLAN, you must create an internet access point
(IAP) for WLAN. Use the access point for applications
that need to connect to the internet.
See "WLAN
internet access points", p. 110.
Important: Always enable one of the available
encryption methods to increase the security of your
wireless LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the
risk of unauthorised access to your data.
A WLAN connection is established when you create a
data connection using a WLAN internet access point.
The active WLAN connection ends when you end the
data connection.
You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet
data is active. You can only be connected to one WLAN
access point device at a time, but several applications
can use the same internet access point.
