Settings in GSM and UMTS networks, it is possible to have multiple data connections active at the same time; access points can share a data connection, and data connections remain active, for example, during voice calls. To define the packet data settings, select Packet data connection and When available to register the device to the packet data network when you switch the device on in a supported network, or When needed to register the device to a packet data network only when an application or action attempts to establish a packet data connection. This setting affects all access points for packet data connections. To use the device as a packet data modem for your computer, select Access point, and enter the access point name provided by your service provider. To use a high-speed data connection, select High speed packet access > Enabled. WLAN settings Select Menu > Ctrl. panel > Settings and Connection > Wireless LAN. To have an indicator displayed when there is a wireless LAN (WLAN) available in your current location, select Show WLAN availability > Yes. To select the interval for your device to scan for available WLANs, and to update the indicator, select Scan for networks. This setting is not available unless you select Show WLAN availability > Yes. To set the device to test the internet capability of the selected WLAN automatically, to ask for permission every time, or to never perform the connectivity test, select 120 Internet connectivity test > Run automatically, Ask every time, or Never run. If you select Run automatically or allow the test to be performed when the device asks for it, and the connectivity test is performed successfully, the access point is saved to internet destinations. To check the unique media access control (MAC) address that identifies your device, enter *#62209526# in the home screen. The MAC address is displayed. Advanced WLAN settings Select Options > Advanced settings. The advanced WLAN settings are normally defined automatically, and changing them is not recommended. To edit the settings manually, select Automatic configuration > Disabled, and define the following: • Long retry limit - Enter the maximum number of transmission attempts if the device does not receive a receiving acknowledgement signal from the network. • Short retry limit - Enter the maximum number of transmission attempts if the device does not receive a clear-to-send signal from the network. • 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.
