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. 109.
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
N96 using a DLNA certified home stereo system,
controlling the playlists and volume levels directly from
your Nokia N96. You can also view images captured
with the camera of your Nokia N96 on a compatible TV
screen, all controlled with the Nokia N96 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. 83.
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,
or copy media files on your device or search for other
devices.
