WLAN connections

To use WLAN, you must create an internet access

point (IAP) for WLAN. Use the access point for

applications that need to connect to the internet.

See "WLAN internet access points", p. 115.

Important: Always enable one of the

available encryption methods to increase the

security of your wireless LAN connection. Using

encryption reduces the risk of unauthorised access

to your data.
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,

enter *#62209526# in the standby mode.
