About home network
Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and
Play (UPnP) and certified by Digital Living Network
Alliance (DLNA). You can use a wireless LAN (WLAN)
access point device or a WLAN router to create a
home network. Then you can connect compatible
UPnP devices that support WLAN to the network.
Compatible devices may be your mobile device, a
compatible PC, sound system, or television, or a
compatible wireless multimedia receiver connected
to a sound system or a 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

To use the WLAN function of your device in a home
network, you must have a working WLAN home
connection setup and have other UPnP enabled
home devices to connect to the same home
network.
After setting up your home network you can share
photos, music, and video 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.
