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. See "Access points", p. 164.

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. See "Connection settings", p. 163. 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, switch off sharing your files with other devices, or do not share any private media files. See "Settings for home network", p. 82.

Settings for home network

To share media files saved in Photos with other compatible UPnP devices through WLAN, you must create and configure your WLAN home internet access point, then configure the settings for home network in the Home media application. See "WLAN internet access points", p. 110.See "Connection

settings", p. 163.

The options related to home network are not available in applications before the settings in the Home media application have been configured.

When you access the Home media application for the first time, the setup wizard opens and helps you define the home network settings for your device. To use the setup wizard later, in the Home media main view, select Options > Run wizard, and follow the instructions on the display.

To connect a compatible PC to the home network, on the PC, you must install the related software. You get the software from the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM supplied with your device, or you can download it from the device support pages on the Nokia website.
