About home network
Your device is compatible with UPnP. Using a wireless
LAN (WLAN) access point device or a WLAN router, you
can create a home network and connect compatible
UPnP devices that support WLAN to the network, such
as your device, a compatible PC, a compatible printer,
and a compatible sound system or television, or a
sound system or a television equipped with a
compatible wireless multimedia receiver.
To use the WLAN function of your device in a home
network, you must have a working WLAN home
connection setup and have other UPnP enabled home
devices to connect to the same home network.
The home network uses the security settings of the
WLAN connection. Use the home network feature in a
WLAN infrastructure network with a WLAN access point
device and encryption enabled.
You can share and synchronise media files in your
mobile device with other compatible UPnP devices
using the home network. To manage your home
network settings, press
, and select
Tools

Connectivity
>
Home media
. You can also use the
home network to view, play, copy, or print compatible
media files from your mobile device.
Your device is connected to the home network only if
you accept a connection request from another
compatible device, or select the option to view, play,
print, or copy media files on your device or search for
other devices in the Home network folder.
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.
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.
