Important security

information

When you configure your WLAN 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.
You can view or change the settings of the WLAN

internet access point in your device.

See "Access

points", p. 163.

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.

See

"Connection settings", p. 162.

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 WLAN in a network that does not have

encryption, switch off sharing your files with other

devices, or do not share any private media files.

See

"Settings for home network", p. 82.

Settings for home network

To share media files saved in Photos with other

compatible UPnP devices through WLAN, you must

create and configure your WLAN home internet access

point, then configure the settings for home network in

the Home media application.

See "WLAN internet

access points", p. 110.See "Connection

settings", p. 162.

The options related to home network are not available

in applications before the settings in the Home media

application have been configured.
When you access the Home media application for the

first time, the setup wizard opens and helps you define

the home network settings for your device. To use the

setup wizard later, in the Home media main view,

select

Options

>

Run wizard

, and follow the

instructions on the display.
To connect a compatible PC to the home network, on

the PC, you must install the related software. You get

the software from the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM supplied

with your device, or you can download it from the

device support pages on the Nokia website.
