Connectivity

Your device offers several options to connect to the

internet or to another compatible device or PC.

Wireless LAN

About WLAN

To use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, it must be

available in the location, and your device must be

connected to the WLAN. Some WLANs are protected, and

you need an access key from the service provider to

connect to them.

Note:

In France, you are only allowed to use WLAN

indoors.

Features that use WLAN, or that are allowed to run in the

background while using other features, increase the

demand on battery power and reduce the battery life.

Your device supports the following WLAN features:

•

IEEE 802.11b/g standard

•

Operation at 2.4 GHz

•

Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to 128

bits, Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and 802.1x

authentication methods. These functions can be used

only if they are supported by the network.

Important:

Always enable one of the available encryption

methods to increase the security of your wireless LAN

connection. Using encryption reduces the risk of

unauthorised access to your data.

WLAN connections

To use a WLAN, you must create an internet access point

in a WLAN. Use the access point for applications that need

to connect to the internet. A WLAN connection is

established when you create a data connection using a

WLAN access point. The active WLAN connection is ended

when you end the data connection. You can also end the

connection manually.

You can use a WLAN during a voice call or when packet

data connection is active. You can only be connected to

one WLAN access point device at a time, but several

applications can use the same internet access point.

When the device is in the Offline profile, you can still use

a WLAN, if available. Remember to comply with any

applicable safety requirements when establishing and

using a WLAN connection.

If you move the device to another location within the

WLAN and out of range of a WLAN access point, the

roaming functionality can automatically connect your

device to another access point that belongs to the same

WLAN. As long as you remain within range of access points

that belong to the same network, your device can stay

connected to the network.

Tip:

To check the unique media access control (MAC)

address that identifies your device, for example to

configure the MAC address of your device to a WLAN router,

enter *#62209526# in the home screen. The MAC address

is displayed.
