12. Wireless local area network<br />

Some places, like France, have restrictions on the use of wireless LAN. Check with your local authorities for more information.<br />

Your device can detect and connect to a wireless local area network (WLAN). To use WLAN, a network must be available in the<br />

location and your device must be connected to it.<br />

See WLAN availability<br />

To have your device show WLAN availability, select<br />

availability.<br />

If WLAN is available,<br />

is shown on the display.<br />

Tip: You can also scan for networks in range.<br />

WLAN connections<br />

Important: Always enable one of the available encryption methods to increase the security of your wireless LAN<br />

connection. Using encryption reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your data.<br />

To use WLAN, you must create an internet access point (IAP) in a WLAN. Use the access point for applications that need to connect<br />

to the internet. A WLAN connection is established when you create a data connection using a WLAN internet access point. The<br />

active WLAN connection is ended when you end the data connection. You can also end the connection manually. See "Connection<br />

manager " on page 44.<br />

You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet data is active. You can only be connected to one WLAN access point device<br />

at a time, but several applications can use the same internet access point.<br />

When the device is in the Offline profile, you can still use WLAN (if available). Remember to comply with any applicable safety<br />

requirements when establishing and using a WLAN connection.<br />

If you move the device to another location within the WLAN and out of range of a WLAN access point, the roaming functionality<br />

can automatically connect your device to another access point that belongs to the same network. As long as you remain within<br />

range of access points that belong to the same network, your device can stay connected to the network.<br />

Select<br />

Tip: To check the unique media access control (MAC) address that identifies your device, for example to configure the<br />

MAC address of your device to a WLAN router, enter *#62209526# on the device keypad. The MAC address is shown on<br />

the device display.<br />

WLAN wizard<br />

> Connectivity > WLAN wiz..<br />

The WLAN wizard helps you find and connect to a wireless LAN. When you open the application, your device starts to scan for<br />

available WLANs and lists them.<br />

To update the list of available WLANs, select Options > Refresh.<br />

To start or continue browsing the web using the access point of the WLAN, scroll to the desired network, and select Options ><br />

Start Web browsing or Cont. Web browsing.<br />

To disconnect the active connection to the WLAN, select Options > Disconnect WLAN.<br />

To view the details of the WLAN, select Options > Details.<br />

To define an internet access point for the selected WLAN, select Options > Define access point.<br />

Always enable one of the available encryption methods to increase the security of your WLAN connection. Using encryption<br />

reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your data.<br />

Use the wizard in the active standby mode<br />

In the active standby mode, the WLAN wizard shows the status of your WLAN connections and network searches. To view the<br />

available options, scroll to the row showing the status, and press the scroll key. Depending on the status, you can start the Web<br />

browser using a WLAN connection, disconnect from a WLAN, search for WLANs, or set the network scanning on or off.<br />

If WLAN scanning is off and you are not connected to any WLAN, WLAN scanning off is displayed in the active standby mode. To<br />

set scanning on and search for available WLANs, scroll to the row showing the status, and press the scroll key.<br />

To start a search for available WLANs, scroll to the row showing the status, press the scroll key, and select Search for WLAN. To<br />

set WLAN scanning off, scroll to the row showing the status, press the scroll key, and select Switch WLAN scan off.<br />

When Start Web browsing is selected, the WLAN wizard automatically creates an internet access point for the selected WLAN.<br />

The access point can also be used with other applications requiring WLAN connection.<br />
