of access points that belong to the same network, your
device can stay connected to the network.
Tip: A wireless LAN connection is established
when you create a data connection using a
wireless LAN Internet access point. The active
wireless LAN connection is ended when you end
the data connection.
Your device enables different types of communication in
a wireless LAN. The two operating modes are
infrastructure and ad hoc.
• The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of
communication: wireless devices communicate with
each other through a wireless LAN access point or
wireless devices communicate with a wired LAN device
through a wireless LAN access point.
The advantage of the infrastructure operating mode is
that you can have more control over network
connections because they pass through an access
point. A wireless device can access the services that are
available in a regular wired LAN: company database,
e-mail, the Internet, and other network resources, for
example.
• With third party applications, you can send and receive
data directly with each other in the ad hoc operating
mode, for example, to print. No wireless LAN access
point is required. Simply make the necessary
configurations and start communicating. Ad hoc
networking is easy to set up, but communication is
limited to devices that are within range.

Mobile VPN

A mobile virtual private network (VPN) allows you to
access a corporate intranet and e-mail securely. Your
device connects from a mobile network, through the
Internet, to a corporate VPN gateway that acts as a front
door to the corporate network. IPSec is used to create a
secure tunnel to a dedicated VPN access point over
unsecured IP networks. A VPN access point is made up of
an internet access point and a VPN policy.
If VPN software is not integrated into production
software, it may be delivered as a Symbian software
installation system file (.sis). After VPN software is
installed, your device must be restarted to incorporate the
IPSec protocol. VPN policies and policy server definitions
may be delivered as a .sis file. Installation is automatic;
however, a certificate policy contains encrypted private
keys that require a password.
Define a VPN connection through ADSL, GRPS, WLAN, or
dial-up. To use mVPN with an application, the application
must be associated with a VPN access point. To connect
to a VPN gateway, define and select a VPN connection
type, connect to the internet or to a corporate intranet,
and start the mVPN application on your device.
Bluetooth
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology
in some locations. Check with your local authorities or
service provider.
