About home network
Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP) and certified by the Digital Living Network Alliance
(DLNA). You can use a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point
device or router to create a home network. Then you can
connect compatible WLAN-enabled UPnP devices to the
network. Compatible devices may be your mobile device,
a compatible PC, a sound system, a television, or a
compatible wireless multimedia receiver connected to a
sound system or television.
You can share and synchronise media files in your mobile
device with other compatible UPnP and DLNA certified
devices using the home network. To activate the home
network functionality and manage the settings, select
Menu > Applications > Home media . You can also use
the Home media application to view and play media files
from home network devices on your device or on other
compatible devices such as a PC, sound system, or
television.
To view your media files on another home network device,
in Photos, for example, select a file, Options > Show via
home network , and the device.
To use the WLAN function of your device in a home
network, you must have a working WLAN home
connection and have other UPnP enabled home devices
connected to the same home network.
After setting up your home network, you can share your
photos and video clips with your friends and family at
home. You are also able to store your media to a media
server or retrieve media files from a compatible home
server. You can play music stored in your device using a
DLNA certified home stereo system, controlling the
playlists and volume levels directly from your device. You
can also view images captured with the camera of your
device on a compatible TV screen, all controlled with your
device over WLAN.
The home network uses the security settings of the WLAN
connection. Use the home network feature in a WLAN
infrastructure network with a WLAN access point device
and encryption enabled.
Your device is connected to the home network only if you
accept a connection request from another compatible
device, or select the option to view, play, or copy media
files on your device or search for other devices.
