Wireless LAN connections

To use wireless LAN, you must create an internet access
point (IAP) in a wireless LAN. Use the access point for
applications that need to connect to the internet. See
18
'Wireless LAN access points' in the Additional applications
guide.
Important: Always enable one of the available
encryption methods to increase the security of your
wireless LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the risk
of unauthorized access to your data.
A wireless LAN connection is established when you create
a data connection using a wireless LAN Internet access
point. The active wireless LAN connection ends when you
end the data connection. To end the connection, see
'Connection manager', p. 91.
You can use wireless LAN during a voice call or when
packet data is active. You can only be connected to one
wireless LAN access point device at a time, but several
applications can use the same wireless LAN connection.
When you activate Offline, you can still use wireless LAN
(if available). Remember to comply with any applicable
safety requirements when establishing and using a
wireless LAN connection.
Tip! To check the unique media access control (MAC)
address that identifies your device, enter *#62209526#
in the standby mode.
