Connections
Your device offers several options to connect to the
internet or to another compatible device or PC.
Wireless LAN
Your device supports wireless local area network
(WLAN). With WLAN, you can connect your device to
the internet and compatible devices that have
WLAN.
About WLAN
To use WLAN, it must be available in the location,
and your device must be connected to the WLAN.
Some places, like France, have restrictions on the
use of wireless LAN. Check with your local
authorities for more information.
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 encryption methods. These functions can
be used only if they are supported by the
network.
WLAN connections
To use WLAN, you must create an internet access
point (IAP) for WLAN. Use the access point for
applications that need to connect to the internet.
See "WLAN internet access points", p. 70.
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 WLAN connection is established when you create
a data connection using a WLAN internet access
point. The active WLAN connection ends when you
end the data connection.
You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet
data is active. You can only be connected to one
