Wlan Connections - Nokia 5530 XpressMusic User Manual

Note: There might be some restrictions for WLAN use in some countries.
Check with your local authorities for more information.
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 unauthorized access to your data.

WLAN connections

To use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, you must create an internet access point
(IAP) 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 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#.
