Connections
Your device offers several options to connect to the
internet or to another compatible device or PC.
Wireless LAN
Your device supports wireless local area network (WLAN).
With WLAN, you can connect your device to the internet
and compatible devices that have WLAN.
About WLAN
To use WLAN, it must be available in the location, and your
device must be connected to the WLAN.
Some places, like France, have restrictions on the use of
wireless LAN. 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
encryption methods. These functions can be used only
if they are supported by the network.
WLAN connections
To use WLAN, you must create an internet access point
(IAP) for WLAN. Use the access point for applications that
need to connect to the internet.
See "WLAN internet
access points", p. 78.
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 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.
