Wi-Fi/Wlan Wizard; Wlan Internet Access Points; Operating Modes; Wireless Lan Settings - Nokia 5800 XpressMusic User Manual

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 internet access point.
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, open the dialer and enter *#62209526#.

Wi-Fi/WLAN wizard

Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity > Wireless LAN.
The Wi-Fi/ WLAN wizard helps you to connect to a wireless LAN (WLAN) and manage
your Wi-Fi/ WLAN connections.
If the search finds WLANs, to create an internet access point (IAP) for a connection and
start the web browser using this IAP, select the connection and Start web browsing.
If you select a secured WLAN, you are asked to enter the relevant password. To connect
to a hidden network, you must enter the correct network name (service set identifier,
SSID).
If you already have the web browser running using the currently active Wi-Fi/ WLAN
connection, to return to the web browser, select Continue web browsing. To end the
active connection, select the connection and Disconnect WLAN.

WLAN internet access points

Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity > Wireless LAN > Options.
Select from the following:
● Filter WLAN networks — Filter out wireless LANs (WLANs) from the list of found
networks. The selected networks are not displayed the next time the application
searches for WLANs.
● Details — View the details of a network shown in the list. If you select an active
connection, the connection details are displayed.

Operating modes

There are two operating modes in Wi-Fi WLAN: infrastructure and ad hoc.
The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of communication: wireless devices
are connected to each other through a Wi-Fi/WLAN access point device, or wireless
devices are connected to a wired LAN through a Wi-Fi/WLAN access point device.
In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and receive data directly with each
other.
