About home network
Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP) and certified by the Digital Living Network
Alliance (DLNA). You can use a wireless LAN (WLAN)
access point device or router to create a home network.
Then you can connect compatible WLAN-enabled UPnP
devices to the network. Compatible devices may be
your mobile device, a compatible PC, a sound system,
a television, or a compatible wireless multimedia
receiver connected to a sound system or television.
You can share and synchronize media files in your
mobile device with other compatible UPnP and DLNA
certified devices using the home network. To activate
the home network functionality and manage the
settings, select Menu > Applications > Home
media . You can also use the Home media application
to view and play media files from home network
devices on your device or on other compatible devices
such as a PC, sound system, or television.
To view your media files on another home network
device, in Photos, for example, select a file, Options >
Show via home network , and the device.
To use the WLAN function of your device in a home
network, you must have a working WLAN home
connection and have other UPnP enabled home devices
connected to the same home network.
After setting up your home network, you can share
your photos and video clips with your friends and
family at home. You are also able to store your media
to a media server or retrieve media files from a
compatible home server. You can play music stored in
your device using a DLNA certified home stereo system,
controlling the playlists and volume levels directly from
your device. You can also view images captured with
the camera of your device on a compatible TV screen,
all controlled with your device over WLAN.
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.
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 or play,
or copy media files on your device, or search for other
devices.
