Home network
Your device is compatible with UPnP. Using a wireless LAN
access point device or a wireless LAN router, you can
create a home network and connect compatible UPnP
devices that support wireless LAN to the network, such as
your Nokia device, a compatible PC, a compatible printer,
and a compatible sound system or a TV, or a sound system
or TV equipped with a compatible wireless multimedia
receiver.
Using the wireless LAN function of the Nokia device in a
home network requires a working wireless LAN home
connection setup and the other target home devices to be
UPnP enabled and to be connected to the same home
network.
You can share media files saved in
Gallery
with other
compatible UPnP devices using the home network. To

Home net.
. You can also use the home
network to view, play, copy, or print compatible media files
from
Gallery
. See ‘View media files’, p. 96.
The home network uses the security settings of the
wireless LAN connection. Use the home network feature in
a wireless LAN infrastructure network with a wireless LAN
access point device and encryption enabled.

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.
Your device is connected to the home network only if you
accept a connection request from another device; or in
Gallery
, select the option to view, play, print, or copy
media files on your Nokia device or search for other devices
in

.
Important security information
When you configure your wireless LAN home network,
enable an encryption method, first on your access point
device, then on the other devices you intend to connect to
your home network. Refer to the documentation of the
devices. Keep any passcodes secret and in a safe place
separate from the devices.
To view or change the settings of the wireless LAN IAP in
your Nokia device, see ‘Access points’, p. 114.
If you use the ad hoc operating mode to create a home
network with a compatible device, enable one of the
encryption methods in
WLAN security mode
when you
configure the IAP. This step reduces the risk of an
unwanted party joining the ad hoc network.
Your device notifies you if another device attempts to
connect to it and the home network. Do not accept
connection requests from an unknown device.
If you use wireless LAN in a network that does not have
encryption, switch off sharing files with other devices, or
do not share any private media files. To change sharing
settings, see ‘Home network settings’, p. 95.
UPnP wizard
When you access the home network application for the
first time, the setup wizard opens, and helps you to define
the home network settings for your device. To use the
setup wizard later, in the home network main view, select

To connect a compatible PC to the home network, on the
PC, you must install the Home Media Server software from
the DVD-ROM supplied with your device.
