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.
Configure settings
To configure the home media application, select Tools >

following:
Home access point—Select Always ask if you want the
device to ask for the home access point every time you
connect to the home network, Create new to define a new
access point that is used automatically when you use
Home netw., or None. If your home network does not
have wireless LAN security settings enabled, you get a
security warning. You can continue, and switch the
wireless LAN security on later; or cancel defining the
access point, and first switch on the wireless LAN security.
See Wireless LAN in ‘Access points’, p. 124.
