Home network
Your device is compatible with UPnP architecture. Using a wireless LAN access point device or a wireless LAN router, you can create a home network and connect compatible UPnP devices that support wireless LAN to the network, such as your Nokia N81, a compatible PC, a compatible printer, and a compatible sound system or TV, or a sound system or TV equipped with a compatible wireless multimedia receiver.
Using the wireless LAN function of the Nokia N81 in a home network requires a working wireless LAN home connection setup and the other target home devices to be UPnP enabled and to be connected to the same home network.
The home network uses the security settings of the wireless LAN connection. Use the home network feature in a wireless LAN infrastructure network with a wireless LAN access point device and encryption enabled.
You can share media files saved in Gallery with other compatible UPnP devices using the home network. To
manage your Home network settings, press , and select Tools > Connectivity > Home netw.> Settings. You can also use the home network to view, play, copy, or print compatible media files from Gallery. See ‘View and share media files’, p. 82.
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.
Your device is connected to the home network only if you accept a connection request from another compatible device, or in Gallery, select the option to view, play, print, or copy media files on your Nokia N81.
Important security information
When you configure your wireless LAN home network, enable an encryption method on your access point device, then on the other devices you intend to connect to your home network. Refer to the documentation of the devices. Keep any passcodes secret and in a safe place separate from the devices.
To view or change the settings of the wireless LAN internet access point in your device, see ‘Access points’, p. 124.
If you use the ad hoc operating mode to create a home network with a compatible device, enable one of the encryption methods in WLAN security mode when you
80
P2954_en.book Page 81 Tuesday, July 3, 2007 1:44 PM
configure the internet access point. This step reduces the risk of an unwanted party joining the ad hoc network.
Your device notifies you if another device attempts to connect to it and the home network. Do not accept connection requests from an unknown device.
If you use wireless LAN in a network that does not have encryption, switch off sharing Nokia N81 files with other devices, or do not share any private media files. To change sharing settings, see ‘Home media settings’, p. 81.
Home media settings
To share media files with other compatible UPnP devices through wireless LAN, you must create and configure your wireless LAN home internet access point, then configure the Home netw. application. See ‘Wireless LAN’, p. 72 and the wireless LAN settings in ‘Access points’, p. 124.
The options related to Home network in applications are not available before the Home network settings have been configured.
When you access the home media application for the first time, the setup wizard opens, and helps you to define the home media settings for your device. To use the setup wizard later, in the home network main view, select
Options > Run wizard, and follow the instructions on the
display.
To connect a compatible PC to the home network, on the PC, you must install the related software from the DVD-ROM supplied with your device.
