8.2 Ways of Connecting to the Internet

Your phone’s networking capabilities allow you to access the Internet or your corporate network at work 

through Wi-Fi, data connection, or dial-up. You can also add and set up a VPN or proxy connection.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 100 meters. 

Note  The availability and range of your phone’s Wi-Fi signal depends on the number, infrastructure, and other objects 

through which the signal passes.

To connect to an existing Wi-Fi network

On the Home screen, click Start > Comm Manager and click the Wi-Fi icon. 
After a few seconds, a message asks you if you want to see the list of available networks, click Yes to turn 

Wi-Fi on.
In Select network, choose the wireless network to connect to.
In Network type, select Internet and click Connect.

When you select an open (unsecured) network, you will be automatically connected to the network 

after clicking Connect.
 If you are connecting to a security-enabled network, you will be asked to enter the WEP Key. Enter 

the WEP Key and click Done.

You can check the Wi-Fi icon (   ) on the title bar to see if you are connected to the Wi-Fi network.

Note  In Comm Manager, click Settings > WLAN Settings > Connection Status to check the current connection status 

and signal quality.

To increase security on the Wi-Fi network

The LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) feature helps increase security on your phone, and 

ensures that nobody is able to access your network without your permission.

On the WLAN Settings screen, select LEAP.
Click Menu > New.
Enter the SSID (Service Set Identifier). You can obtain this information from your wireless service 

provider.
Enter the user name, password, and domain.
Select an Authentication Type.

By default, the Authentication Type for your phone is Open System authentication.

Notes   By default, the LEAP screen displays data that you entered previously. However, you can modify or delete the data 

as required by clicking Menu > Modify or Menu > Delete on the LEAP screen.

   For LEAP to work correctly, the receiving phone (your phone) must be set with the same SSID, user name, and 

password as the access point.

Wireless data connection

To connect to the Internet, you can use your phone’s 1xRTT/EVDO connection, or use a GPRS/EDGE connection 

with the installed GSM SIM card.

To automatically start the data connection

The data connection is automatically started when you begin using a program that accesses the Internet such as 

Internet Explorer.

To manually start or disconnect the data connection

Click Start > Comm Manager.
Select Data Connection. 
The   button indicates that the data connection is turned on.
The   button indicates that the data connection is turned off.
