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.
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. 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, turn off sharing your files with other
devices, or do not share any private media files.
Settings for home network
To share media files saved in Photos with other UPnP
compatible and DLNA certified devices through a
wireless LAN (WLAN), you must create and configure
your WLAN home internet access point, then configure
the settings for home network in the Home media
application.
The options related to home network are not available
in applications before the settings in the Home media
application have been configured.
Select Menu > Applications > Home media.
When you access the Home media application for the
first time, the setup wizard opens, helping you define
the home network settings for your device. To use the
setup wizard later, select Options > Run wizard, and
follow the instructions.
To connect a compatible PC to the home network, on
the PC, you must install the related software. The
software is on the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM supplied with
your device, or you can download it from the device
support pages on the Nokia website.
Configure settings
To configure the settings for home network, select
Options > Settings and from the following:
● Home access point — To set the device to ask for
the home access point every time you connect to the
home network, select Always ask. To define a new
access point that is used automatically when you
