Nokia 5530 XpressMusic - Manual (Page 74)

● Operation at 2.4 GHz
● Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to 128 bits, Wi-Fi protected access
(WPA), and 802.1x authentication methods. These functions can be used only if they
are supported by the network.
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.
WLAN connections
To use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, you must create an internet access point (IAP)
for WLAN. Use the access point for applications that need to connect to the internet.
A WLAN connection is established when you create a data connection using a WLAN
internet access point. The active WLAN connection ends when you end the data
connection.
You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet data is active. You can only be
connected to one WLAN access point device at a time, but several applications can use
the same internet access point.
When the device is in the offline profile, you can still use WLAN (if available). Remember
to comply with any applicable safety requirements when establishing and using a WLAN
connection.
Tip: To check the unique media access control (MAC) address that identifies your
device, open the dialer and enter *#62209526#.
Wi-Fi/WLAN wizard
Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity > Wireless LAN.
The Wi-Fi/ WLAN wizard helps you to connect to a wireless LAN (WLAN) and manage
your Wi-Fi/ WLAN connections.
If the search finds WLANs, to create an internet access point (IAP) for a connection and
start the web browser using this IAP, select the connection and Start web browsing.
If you select a secured WLAN, you are asked to enter the relevant password. To connect
to a hidden network, you must enter the correct network name (service set identifier,
SSID).
If you already have the web browser running using the currently active Wi-Fi/ WLAN
connection, to return to the web browser, select Continue web browsing. To end the
active connection, select the connection and Disconnect WLAN.
