Connections

Your device offers several options to connect to the internet or to another compatible device or PC.

Wireless LAN

Your device supports wireless local area network (WLAN). With WLAN, you can connect your device to the internet and compatible devices that have WLAN.

About WLAN

To use WLAN, it must be available in the location, and your device must be connected to the WLAN. Some places, like France, have restrictions on the use of wireless LAN. Check with your local authorities for more information.

Features that use WLAN, or that are allowed to run in the background while using other features, increase the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life.

Your device supports the following WLAN features:

●IEEE 802.11b/g standard

●Operation at 2.4 GHz

●Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to 128 bits, Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and 802.1x encryption methods. These functions can be used only if they are supported by the network.

WLAN connections

To use WLAN, you must create an internet access point (IAP) for WLAN. Use the access point for applications that need to connect to the internet. See "WLAN internet access points", p. 36.

Important: Always enable one of the available encryption methods to increase the security of your wireless LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your data.

A WLAN connection is established when you create a data connection using a WLAN internet access
