Data Connections And Access Points; Network Settings; Wi-Fi/Wlan Connection - Nokia 5530 XpressMusic User Manual

Data connections and access points

Your device supports packet data connections (network service), such as GPRS in the
GSM network.
You can also use a Wi-Fi/WLAN data connection. Only one connection in one wireless
LAN can be active at a time, but several applications can use the same internet access
point.
To establish a data connection, an access point is required. You can define different
kinds of access points, such as the following:
● MMS access point to send and receive multimedia messages
● Internet access point (IAP) to send and receive e-mail and connect to the internet
Check the type of access point you need with your service provider for the service you
want to access. For availability and subscription to packet data connection services,
contact your service provider.

Network settings

Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity > Network.
Select from the following:
● Operator selection — Select Automatic to set the device to search for and select
one of the available networks, or Manual to manually select the network from a list.
If the connection to the manually selected network is lost, the device sounds an error
tone and asks you to reselect a network. The selected network must have a roaming
agreement with your home network.
● Cell info display — Set the device to indicate when it is used in a cellular network
based on microcellular network (MCN) technology and to activate cell info reception.

Wi-Fi/WLAN connection

Your device can detect and connect to wireless local area networks (WLAN). Using a
WLAN, you can connect your device to the internet and compatible devices that have
WLAN support.
About WLAN
To use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, it must be available in the location, and your
device must be connected to the WLAN. Some WLANs are protected, and you need an
access key from the service provider to connect to them.
Note: There might be some restrictions for WLAN use in some countries. Check
with your local authorities for more information.
Features that use WLAN, or that are allowed to run in the background while using other
features, increase the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life.
Your device supports the following WLAN features:
● IEEE 802.11b/g standard
