Your Nokia NXX
18
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 unauthorize 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 NXX or search for other devices
in the Home network folder.
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
Internet access point in your Nokia NXX, see ‘Access
points’, p. 102.
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 Internet access point. 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 Nokia NXX files with other
devices, or do not share any private media files. To change
sharing settings, see ‘Home network settings’, p. 86.
Memory card
You can purchase a compatible miniSD
memory card and use it as extra storage
space to save the memory on your
device. You can also back up
information from your device to the memory card.
Use only compatible miniSD memory cards with this
device. Other memory cards, such as Reduced Size
MultiMediaCards, do not fit in the memory card slot and
are not compatible with this device. Using an incompatible
memory card may damage the memory card as well as the
device, and data stored on the incompatible card may be
corrupted.
Keep all memory cards out of the reach of small children.
