An internet access point created for WLAN. Use
●
the access point for applications that need to
connect to the internet.
A WLAN connection is established when you create
a data connection using a WLAN internet access
point. The active WLAN connection ends when you
end the data connection.
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 at a time, but several
applications can use the same access point.
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
●
Operation at 2.4 GHz
●
Wired equivalent privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi protected
●
access (WPA/WPA2), and 802.1x authentication
methods. These functions can be used only if they
are supported by the network.
Important: Always enable one of the
available encryption methods to increase the
security of your wireless LAN connection. Using
encryption reduces the risk of unauthorised access
to your data.
When the device is in the offline profile, you can still
use WLAN, if available. Remember to comply with
any applicable safety requirements when
establishing and using a WLAN connection.
Tip: To check the unique media access control
(MAC) address that identifies your device,
enter *#62209526# in the home screen.
