WLAN 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 WLAN, you must create an internet access point (IAP) in a 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 is ended when you end the data connection. You can also end the connection manually.
See "Connection
manager" on page 44.
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.
If you move the device to another location within the WLAN and out of range of a WLAN 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.
