Introduction

This document is a support guide for the configuration of Internet settings needed to use the Nokia E61 for data connections.

To access the Internet (in order to use WWW or mail), the following conditions must exist:

• The cellular network (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) you use must support data calls.

• The data service (also the high-speed HSCSD service if used) must be activated for your SIM card.

• You must have obtained an Internet access point (IAP) from an Internet service provider.

• Proper Internet settings must have been configured in your device.

If you are using a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, you do not need SIM data service and GSM data call support.

For information about the correct settings, contact your Internet service provider or system administrator. The service provider may be able to configure the access point for you using a special SMS message or WWW page, which sets up all the necessary Internet access settings. Please contact your Internet service provider (ISP) for details.

The necessary settings for Internet configuration are provided by your Internet Service Provider. If your Internet settings are incomplete or incorrect, please contact your service provider. Depending on your ISP or network operator, you may not need to fill in all of the settings.

When you insert a SIM card, the device will read the necessary GPRS, MMS, and SMSC settings from the SIM card if they are available, and no manual configuration is necessary. Note that this may not work with all operators and SIM cards.

• WEP key settings — The remaining settings are

defined here:

WEP encryption — Select the desired WEP encryption

key length. Supported options are 64, 128, and 256 bits. The more bits there are in the key, the higher the level of security. WEP keys consist of a secret key and a 24-bit initialization vector. For example, some manufacturers refer to the 104-bit key as a 128-bit key (104+24). Both keys offer the same level of encryption and are therefore interoperable.

WEP key format — Select whether you want to enter

the WEP key data in Hexadecimal format or in text format (ASCII).

WEP key — Enter the WEP key data. The number of

characters you can enter depends on the key length you have chosen.

Note: Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encryption method encrypts data before it is transmitted. Access to the network is denied to users who do not have the required WEP keys. When WEP security mode is in use, if your device receives a data packet not encrypted with the WEP keys, the data is discarded. In an Ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same WEP key.
