Packet data (GPRS) settings
Select Menu > Control panel > Settings and
Connection > Packet data.
Your device supports packet data connections, such as GPRS
in the GSM network. When you are using your device in GSM
and UMTS networks, it is possible to have multiple data
connections active at the same time; access points can share
a data connection, and data connections remain active, for
example, during voice calls.
To define the packet data settings, select Packet data
connection and When available to register the device to
the packet data network when you switch the device on in a
supported network, or When needed to register the device
to a packet data network only when an application or action
attempts to establish a packet data connection. This setting
affects all access points for packet data connections. To use
the device as a packet data modem for your computer, select
Access point, and enter the access point name provided by
your service provider. To use a high-speed data connection,
select High speed packet access > Enabled.
WLAN settings
Select Menu > Control panel > Settings and
Connection > Wireless LAN.
To have an indicator displayed when there is a wireless LAN
(WLAN) available in your current location, select Show WLAN
availability > Yes.
To select the interval for your device to scan for available
WLANs, and to update the indicator, select Scan for
networks. This setting is not available unless you select
Show WLAN availability > Yes.
To set the device to test the internet capability of the selected
WLAN automatically, to ask for permission every time, or to
never perform the connectivity test, select Internet
connectivity test > Run automatically, Ask every time,
or Never run. If you select Run automatically or allow the
test to be performed when the device asks for it, and the
connectivity test is performed successfully, the access point
is saved to internet destinations.
To check the unique media access control (MAC) address that
identifies your device, enter *#62209526# in the home
screen. The MAC address is displayed.
Advanced WLAN settings
Select Options > Advanced settings. The advanced WLAN
settings are normally defined automatically, and changing
them is not recommended.
To edit the settings manually, select Automatic
configuration > Disabledand define the following:
• Long retry limit — Enter the maximum number of
transmission attempts if the device does not receive a
receiving acknowledgement signal from the network.
• Short retry limit — Enter the maximum number of
transmission attempts if the device does not receive a
clear-to-send signal from the network.
• RTS threshold — Select the data packet size at which the
WLAN access point device issues a request to send before
sending the packet.
• TX power level — Select the power level of your device
when sending data.
• Radio measurements — Enable or disable the radio
measurements.
• Power saving — Select whether to use the WLAN power
saving mechanism to save the power in the device battery.
Using the power saving mechanism enhances the battery
performance but may weaken WLAN interoperability.
To restore all settings to their original values, select
Options > Restore defaults.
WLAN security settings
Select Menu > Control panel > Settings and
Connection > Destinations > Access point, and follow
the instructions on the display.
To edit a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point, open one of the
access point groups, and select an access point marked with
.
To enter the settings for the selected security mode, select
WLAN security settings.
WEP security settings
Select WEP as the WLAN security mode.
The wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encryption method
encrypts data before it is transmitted. Access to the network
is denied to users who do not have the required WEP keys.
When the WEP security mode is in use, and your device
receives a data packet not encrypted with the WEP keys, the
data is discarded.
In an ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same WEP key.
Select WLAN security settings and from the following:
• WEP key in use — Select the desired WEP key.
• Authentication type — Select Open or Shared.
• WEP key settings — Edit the settings for the WEP key.
WEP key settings
In an ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same WEP key.
Select WLAN security settings > WEP key settings and
from the following:
• WEP encryption — Select the desired WEP encryption key
length.
• WEP key format — Select whether you want to enter the
WEP key data in ASCII or Hexadecimal format.
• WEP key — Enter the WEP key data
802.1x security settings
Select 802.1x as the WLAN security mode.
802.1x authenticates and authorizes devices to access a
wireless network, and prevents access if the authorization
process fails.
Select WLAN security settings and from the following:
• WPA/WPA2 — Select EAP (Extensible Authentication
Protocol) or Pre-shared key (a secret key used for device
identification).
• EAP plug-in settings — If you selected WPA/WPA2 >
EAP, select which EAP plug-ins defined in your device to
use with the access point.
• Pre-shared key — If you selected WPA/WPA2 > Preshared
key, enter the shared private key that identifies
your device to the WLAN to which you connect.
WPA security settings
Select WPA/WPA2 as the WLAN security mode.
Select WLAN security settings and from the following:
• WPA/WPA2 — Select EAP (Extensible Authentication
Protocol) or Pre-shared key (a secret key used for device
identification).
• EAP plug-in settings — If you select WPA/WPA2 >
EAP, select which EAP plug-ins defined in your device to
use with the access point.
• Pre-shared key — If you select WPA/WPA2 > Preshared
key, enter the shared private key that identifies
your device to the WLAN to which you connect.
• WPA2 only mode — To allow both TKIP and AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption, select Off. To
allow AES only, select On
Wireless LAN plugins
Select Menu > Control panel > Settings and
Connection > Destinations, and an access point group.
The extensible authentication protocol (EAP) plug-ins are
used in wireless networks to authenticate wireless devices
and authentication servers, and the different EAP plug-ins
make possible the use of various EAP methods (network
service).
You can view the EAP plug-ins currently installed in your
device (network service).
EAP plug-ins
1. To define the EAP plug-in settings, select Options > New
access point and define an access point that uses WLAN
as a data bearer.
2. Select 802.1x or WPA/WPA2 as the security mode.
3. Select WLAN security settings > WPA/WPA2 > EAP >
EAP plug-in settings.
