114 Getting Connected

Notes Wi-Fi connects to the default network that is available on your phone. However, GPRS starts by default if your phone does not detect any Wi-Fi signal.

In Comm Manager, click Settings > WLAN Settings > Connection Status to check the current connection status and signal quality of each Wi-Fi channel.

To increase security on the Wi-Fi network

The LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) feature of Comm Manager helps increase security on your phone, and ensures that nobody is able to access your network without your permission.

1.On the WLAN Settings screen, select LEAP.

2.Click Menu > New.

3.Enter the SSID (Service Set Identifier). You can obtain this information from your wireless service provider.

4.Enter the user name, password, and domain.

5.Select an Authentication Type.

By default, the Authentication Type for your phone is Open System authentication.

Notes • By default, the LEAP screen displays data that you entered previously. However, you can modify or delete the data as required by clicking Menu

> Modify or Menu > Delete on the LEAP screen.

For LEAP to work correctly, the receiving phone (your phone) must be set with the same SSID, user name, and password as the access point.

GPRS/3G

You can use GPRS/3G to connect to the Internet or to send and receive MMS on your phone. When you use GPRS/3G, you will be billed per KB (Kilobyte) when sending or receiving information.

If GPRS settings are not preset on your phone, obtain the Access point name from your wireless service provider. Also, check with your wireless service provider if a user name and password are required.

Note Check with your service provider how much it charges for its GPRS service.
