Your Noki

a N80

In the infrastructure operating mode, your device is
connected to a wireless LAN access point device. Through
the access point device, you can access other compatible
devices or a wired LAN.

In the ad hoc operating mode, compatible devices can send
and receive data directly with each other. To create an
Internet access point for the ad hoc network, see "Access
points," p. 98.

Tip! To check the unique Media Access Control (MAC)

address that identifies your device, enter *#62209526#
in the standby mode.

Home network

Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and Play
architecture (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
N80, a compatible PC, a compatible printer, a compatible
sound system, a compatible TV, or a sound system or TV
equipped with a compatible wireless multimedia receiver.

After you have configured the home network, you can
copy, view, or play compatible media files and print images
in

Gallery

on the other connected compatible devices, for

example, view images stored on your Nokia N80 on a

compatible TV. See "Home netw.,", p. 34 and "Image print,"
p. 38.

Copyright protections may prevent some images, music
(including ringing tones), and other content from being
copied, transferred, viewed, played, or printed.

To set up home networking in your wireless LAN, first
create and configure your wireless LAN home Internet
access point, then configure the devices. On your Nokia
N80, configure the settings in the

Home netw.

application.

See "Home netw.," p. 34. To connect a compatible PC to the
home network, on the PC, you must install the Home
Media Server software from the CD-ROM supplied with
your Nokia N80.

After you have completed the necessary configurations in
all devices connected to the network, you can start using
the home network. See "View media files," p. 35.

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 or a router 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.

To view or change the settings of the wireless LAN Internet
access point in your Nokia N80, see "Access points,", p. 98.
