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. 128. 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 N95 files with other devices, or do not share any private media files. To change sharing settings, see 'Home network settings', p. 68. Home network settings To share media files saved in Gallery with other compatible UPnP devices through wireless LAN, you must create and configure your wireless LAN home Internet access point, then configure the Home netw. application. See 'Wireless LAN', p. 26 and the wireless LAN settings in 'Access points', p. 128. The options related to Home netw. are not available in Gallery before the Home netw. settings have been configured.
