Access points
Select > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points.
An access point is where your device connects to the network by way of a data connection. To use e-mail and multimedia services
or to browse web pages, you must first define access points for these services.
Some or all access points may be preset for your device by your service provider, and you may not be able to create, edit, or
remove them.
To create a new access point, select Options > New access point or select an existing access point from the list and then
Options > Duplicate access point to use the access point as a basis for the new one.
Packet data settings
Select > Tools > Settings > Connection > Packet data.
Your device supports packet data connections, such as GPRS in the GSM network. When you are using your device in GSM and
UMTS networks, it is possible to have multiple data connections active at the same time; access points can share a data
connection, and data connections remain active, for example, during voice calls. See "Connection manager" on page 44.
To define the packet data settings, select Packet data connection and select When available to register the device to the packet
data network when you switch the device on in a supported network, or When needed to establish a packet data connection
only when an application or action requires it. Select Access point and enter the access point name provided by your service
provider to use the device as a packet data modem to your computer.
These settings affect all access points for packet data connections.
WLAN settings
Select > Tools > Settings > Connection > Wireless LAN.
To have an indicator displayed when there is a WLAN available in your current location, select Show WLAN availability > Yes.
To select the interval for your device to scan for available WLANs and update the indicator, select Scan for networks. This setting
is not visible unless you select Show WLAN availability > Yes.
To check the unique media access control (MAC) address that identifies your device, enter *#62209526# in the standby mode.
The MAC address is shown on the device display.
Advanced WLAN settings
Select Options > Advanced settings. The advanced WLAN settings are normally defined automatically, and changing them is
not recommended.
To edit the settings manually, select Automatic configuration > Disabled, and define the following:
• Long retry limit — Enter the maximum number of transmission attempts if the device does not receive a receiving
acknowledgement signal from the network.
• Short retry limit — Enter the maximum number of transmission attempts if the device does not receive a clear-to-send signal
from the network.
• RTS threshold — Select the data packet size at which the WLAN access point device issues a request to send before sending
the packet.
• Show WLAN availability — Set the device to indicate when WLAN is available.
• TX power level — Select the power level of your device when sending data.
• Radio measurements — Enable or disable the radio measurements.
• Power saving — Select whether to save the power in the device battery.
To restore all settings to their original values, select Options > Restore defaults.
WLAN security settings
Select Access points > Options > New access point, or select an access point and Options > Edit.
In the access point settings, select WLAN security mode and the desired mode.
WEP security settings
Select Access points > Options > New access point, or select an access point and Options > Edit.
In the access point settings, select WLAN security mode > WEP.
The wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encryption method encrypts data before it is transmitted. Access to the network is denied
to users who do not have the required WEP keys. When the WEP security mode is in use, and your device receives a data packet
not encrypted with the WEP keys, the data is discarded.
In an Ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same WEP key.
