Define Internet connections is unique. When you connect to the Internet over WLAN, the connection is based on this information. If the field is dimmed and cannot be edited, the scanned SSID contains characters entered in an unknown character set, and not UTF-8 as the device expects. Network is hidden - You must select this option if the name of your WLAN network is hidden. When this option is selected, your device actively searches for the hidden WLAN network when you establish an Internet connection. Network mode - Select the Infrastructure or Ad hoc mode. The infrastructure mode is used with the Internet connections. Security method - Select None (no security), WEP (medium security), WPA pre-shared key (high security), or WPA with EAP (high security). 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. Tip: The device supports wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with key lengths of 40 or 104 bits (equal to 64 and 128 bits depending on the WLAN access point manufacturer). For example, in the access point, select ASCII 40/64 bits and enter 5 characters. In the device, select correspondingly 40 bits and enter the same 5 characters. Some places, like France, have restrictions on the use of wireless LAN. Check with your local authorities for more information. ■ Cellular connection Before you can connect to the Internet over a cellular network, you must do the following: • Subscribe to the desired data service with your cellular service provider • Acquire proper Internet settings from your cellular service provider Copyright © 2006 Nokia.
