Page 117 highlights

• RTS threshold - Select the data packet size at which the WLAN access point device issues a request to send before sending the packet. • TX power level - Select the power level of your device when sending data. • Radio measurements - Enable or disable the radio measurements. • Power saving - Select whether to use the WLAN power saving mechanism to save the power in the device battery. Using the power saving mechanism enhances the battery performance but may weaken WLAN interoperability. To restore all settings to their original values, select Options > Restore defaults. WLAN security settings Select Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points > Options > New access point, or select an access point and Options > Edit. In the access point settings, select WLAN security mode and the desired mode. WEP security settings Select WEP as the WLAN security mode. The wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encryption method encrypts data before it is transmitted. Access to the network is denied to users who do not have the required WEP keys. When the WEP security mode is in use, and your device receives a data packet not encrypted with the WEP keys, the data is discarded. In an ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same WEP key. Select WLAN security settings and from the following: • WEP key in use - Select the desired WEP key. • Authentication type - Select Open or Shared. • WEP key settings - Edit the settings for the WEP key. WEP key settings In an ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same WEP key. Select WLAN security settings > WEP key settings and from the following: • WEP encryption - Select the desired WEP encryption key length. • WEP key format - Select whether you want to enter the WEP key data in ASCII or Hexadecimal format. • WEP key - Enter the WEP key data. 802.1x security settings Select 802.1x as the WLAN security mode. 802.1x authenticates and authorises devices to access a wireless network, and prevents access if the authorisation process fails. Select WLAN security settings and from the following: • WPA/WPA2 - Select EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) or Pre-shared key (a secret key used for device identification). © 2010 Nokia.
