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. 110.
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.
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, enter
*#62209526# in the standby mode.
WLAN wizard
The WLAN wizard helps you to connect to a WLAN and
manage your WLAN connections.
The WLAN wizard shows the status of your WLAN
connections in the active standby mode. To view the
available options, scroll to the row showing the status,
and select it.
If the search finds WLANs, for example, WLAN
network found is displayed, to create an internet
access point (IAP) and start the web browser using this
IAP, select the status and Start Web browsing.
If you select a secured WLAN network, you are asked
to enter the relevant passcodes. To connect to a hidden
network, you must enter the correct network name
(service set identifier, SSID). To create a new access
point for a hidden WLAN, select New WLAN.
