To have an indicator displayed when there is a WLAN available in your current location, select Show WLAN availability > Yes. To select the interval for your device to scan for available WLANs and update the indicator, select Scan for networks. This setting is not available unless you select Show WLAN availability > Yes. 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. 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. 125 Settings
