Connectivity

Your device offers several options to connect to the
internet or to another compatible device or PC.

Wireless LAN

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.
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) with keys up to 128
bits, Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), 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.

WLAN connections

To use a WLAN, you must create an internet access point
in a 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 access point. The active WLAN connection is ended
when you end the data connection. You can also end the
connection manually.
You can use a WLAN during a voice call or when packet
data connection 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
a WLAN, if available. Remember to comply with any
applicable safety requirements when establishing and
using a WLAN connection.
