Nokia N97 - Manual (Page 73)

You may receive access point settings in a message
from a service provider. Some or all access points may
be preset for your device by your service provider, and
you may not be able to change, create, edit, or remove
them.
When you open one of the access point groups ( ,
, , ), you can see the access point types:
indicates a protected access point
indicates a packet data access point
indicates a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point
Tip: You can create internet access points in a
WLAN with the WLAN wizard.
To create a new access point, select Access point .
The device asks to check for available connections.
After the search, connections that are already available
are shown and can be shared by a new access point. If
you skip this step, you are asked to select a connection
method and to define the settings needed.
To edit the settings of an access point, open one of the
access point groups, and select an access point. Follow
the instructions from your service provider.
● Connection name — Enter a name for the
connection.
● Data bearer — Select the data connection type.
Depending on the data connection you select, only
certain setting fields are available. Fill in all fields
marked with Must be defined or with a red *. Other
fields can be left empty, unless your service provider
has instructed otherwise.
To use a data connection, your service provider must
support this feature, and if necessary, activate it for
your SIM card.
Create access point groups
Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity >
Destinations .
Some applications allow you to use access point groups
for network connections.
To avoid selecting a single access point every time the
device makes a network connection, you can create a
group that contains various access points to connect to
that network and define the order in which the access
points are used.
For example, you can add wireless LAN (WLAN) and
packet data access points to an internet access point
group, and use the group for browsing the web. If you
give WLAN the highest priority, the device connects to
the internet through WLAN, if available, and through a
packet data connection if not.
To create a new access point group, select
Options >
Manage > New destination .
To add access points to an access point group, select
the group and Options > New access point . To copy
an existing access point from another group, select the
