Home network

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.
