E51 User Guide - Nokia

An internet access point is a collection of settings, which
define how the device creates a data connection to the
network. 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 (GPRS) settings
Select Menu > 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", p. 101.
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. To use a
high-speed data connection, select High speed packet
access > Enabled.
These settings affect all access points for packet data
connections.
WLAN settings
Select Menu > 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 available unless you select Show WLAN
availability > Yes.
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.
