Wireless LAN connections
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.
To use wireless LAN, you must create an internet access point (IAP) in a wireless LAN. Use the access point for applications that
need to connect to the internet. A wireless LAN connection is established when you create a data connection using a wireless
LAN Internet access point. The active wireless LAN connection is ended when you end the data connection. You can also end the
connection manually.
See "Connection manager," p. 56.
You can use wireless LAN during a voice call or when packet data is active. You can only be connected to one wireless LAN 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 wireless LAN (if available). Remember to comply with any applicable
safety requirements when establishing and using a wireless LAN connection.
If you move the device to another location within the wireless LAN and out of range of a wireless LAN access point, the roaming
functionality can automatically connect your device to another access point that belongs to the same network. As long as you
remain within range of access points that belong to the same network, your device can stay connected to the network.
Tip: To check the unique media access control (MAC) address that identifies your device, for example to configure the
MAC address of your device to a WLAN router, enter *#62209526# on the device keypad. The MAC address is shown on
the device display.
