Home network
Your device is compatible with UPnP. Using a
wireless LAN access point device or a wireless
LAN router, you can create a home network and connect
compatible UPnP devices that support wireless LAN to the
network, such as your Nokia device, a compatible PC, a
compatible printer, and a compatible sound system or a
TV, or a sound system or TV equipped with a compatible
wireless multimedia receiver.
Using the wireless LAN function of the Nokia N93 in a
home network requires a working wireless LAN home
connection setup and the other target home devices to be
UPnP enabled and to be connected to the same home
network.
The home network uses the security settings of the
wireless LAN connection. Use the home network feature
in a wireless LAN infrastructure network with a wireless
LAN 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 the settings for Home net. , press , and select
Connect. > Home net. You can also use the home
network to view, play, copy, or print compatible media
files from Gallery. See ‘View media files’, p. 90.
Important: Always use one of the available
encryption methods to increase the security of your
wireless LAN connection and reduce the risk of
unauthorize access to your data.
Your device is connected to the home network only if you
accept a connection request from another device, or in
Gallery, select the option to view, play, print, or copy
media files on your Nokia device or search for other devices
in the Home net. folder.
Important security information
When you configure your wireless LAN home network,
enable an encryption method, first 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.
To view or change the settings of the wireless LAN Internet
access point in your Nokia device, see ‘Access points’, p.
106.
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.
