Your Nokia N93 connect your device to the internet and compatible devices that have wireless LAN. For information about using your device in a home network, see 'Home network', p. 19. To use wireless LAN, a wireless LAN must be avilable in the location, and your device must be connected to the wireless LAN. Some places, like France, have restrictions on the use of wireless LAN. Check with your local authorities for more information. Features using wireless LAN, or allowing such features 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 wireless LAN features: • IEEE 802.11b/g standard • Operation at a frequency of 2.4 GHz • Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to 128 bits, Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and 802.1x encryption methods. These functions can be used only if they are supported by the network. Wireless LAN connections To use wireless LAN, you must create an internet access point (IAP) in a wireless LAN. Use the access point for applications that need to connect to the internet. See 'Wireless LAN access points' in the Additional applications guide. 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. A wireless LAN connection is established when you create a data connection using a wireless LAN Internet access point. The active wireless LAN connection ends when you end the data connection. To end the connection, see 'Connection manager', p. 91. You can use wireless LAN during a voice call or when packet data is active. You can only be connected to one wireless LAN access point device at a time, but several applications can use the same wireless LAN connection. When you activate Offline, you can still use wireless LAN (if available). Remember to comply with any applicable safety requirements when establishing and using a wireless LAN connection. Tip! To check the unique media access control (MAC) address that identifies your device, enter *#62209526# in the standby mode. For information about WLAN wizard, see 'WLAN wizard' in the Additional applications guide. 18
