Connections you can create a home network and connect compatible UPnP devices that support wireless LAN to the network, such as your Nokia N81, a compatible PC, a compatible printer, and a compatible sound system or TV, or a sound system or TV equipped with a compatible wireless multimedia receiver. Using the wireless LAN function of the Nokia N81 in a home network requires a working wireless LAN home connection setup and the other target home devices to be UPnP enabled and to be connected to the same home network. The home network uses the security settings of the wireless LAN connection. Use the home network feature in a wireless LAN infrastructure network with a wireless LAN access point device and encryption enabled. You can share media files saved in Gallery with other compatible UPnP devices using the home network. To manage your Home network settings, press , and select Tools > Connectivity > Home media> Settings. You can also use the home network to view, play, copy, or print compatible media files from Gallery. See 'View and share media files', p. 83. 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. Your device is connected to the home network only if you accept a connection request from another compatible device, or in Gallery, select the option to view, play, print, or copy media files on your Nokia N81. Important security information When you configure your wireless LAN home network, enable an encryption method on your access point device, then on the other devices you intend to connect to your home network. Refer to the documentation of the devices. Keep any passcodes secret and in a safe place separate from the devices. To view or change the settings of the wireless LAN internet access point in your device, see 'Access points', p. 125. If you use the ad hoc operating mode to create a home network with a compatible device, enable one of the encryption methods in WLAN security mode when you configure the internet access point. This step reduces the risk of an unwanted party joining the ad hoc network. Your device notifies you if another device attempts to connect to it and the home network. Do not accept connection requests from an unknown device. If you use wireless LAN in a network that does not have encryption, switch off sharing Nokia N81 files with other devices, or do not share any private media files. To change sharing settings, see 'Home media settings', p. 82. 81
