Creating smart cards
The system administrator can store important information such as personal WEP
keys and network profiles on a smart card. The administrator can then give users
smart cards which contain the necessary network settings and encryption keys for
quick network access. The user inserts the smart card into the Nokia C110/C111,
inserts the wireless LAN card into a compatible computer, and is then ready to
access the wireless LAN.
To store data on a smart card:
1
Slide the smart card into the smart card slot of the Nokia C110/C111. Make sure
that the metal contacts of the smart card are facing down and that the beveled
corner is on the right. See Figure 7 on page 44.

Insert the wireless LAN card in your computer and start the Nokia C110/C111
program. Go to the Administrator page. In the

dialog box opens. Select the items on the left to be copied to the
smart card. Click the arrow button pointing to the right. If you want to remove

Note:

on smart card
check box is selected. If this check box is cleared, the
selected profiles will be removed - instead of being copied - from the
system to a smart card.
If you want to empty the contents of a smart card, click
Erase All
. Note that all
items on a smart card will be removed, including the smart card description. If you
want the program to re-read the contents of a smart card, click
Reload
.
Creating installation disks
The system administrator can create installation disks which contain all the
necessary settings needed for accessing a wireless LAN. The custom installation
package can also be saved on a hard disk.
The installation disk can be used for distributing profiles. All the desired settings
and profiles can be copied to the installation disk, which then offers an end user
quick access to a wireless LAN. The end user does not have to configure settings in
order to be able to connect to a network.
To generate an installation disk:
