Wireless LAN
Your device supports wireless local area network (wireless
LAN). With wireless LAN, you can connect your device to
the Internet and compatible devices that have wireless
LAN. For information about using your device in a home
network, see ‘Home network’, p. 17.
Some places, like France, have restrictions on the use of
wireless LAN. Check with your local authorities for more
information.
Features using wireless LAN, or allowing such features to
Your Nokia N93
run in the background while using other features, increase
the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life.
Your device supports the following wireless LAN features:
• IEEE 802.11b/g standard
• Operation at a frequency of 2.4 GHz
• Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to 128
bits, Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and 802.1x
encryption methods. These functions can be used only
if they are supported by the network.
You can create an Internet access point (IAP) in a wireless
LAN, and use it for applications that need to connect to
the Internet.
2 The device searches for wireless LANs within range.
Scroll to the network in which you want to create an
Internet access point, and select Options > Define
access point.
3 The device creates an Internet access point with default
settings. To view or change these settings, see ‘Access
points’, p. 101.
When an application asks you to select an access point,
select the created access point, or to search for wireless
LANs in range, select Search for WLAN.
A wireless LAN connection is established when you create
a data connection using a wireless LAN Internet access
point. The active wireless LAN connection ends when you
end the data connection. To end the connection, see
‘Connection manager’, p. 84.
You can use wireless LAN during a voice call or when
packet data is active. You can only be connected to one
wireless LAN access point device at a time, but several
applications can use the same wireless LAN connection.
When you activate the Offline profile, you can still use
wireless LAN (if available). Remember to comply with any
applicable safety requirements when establishing and
using a wireless LAN connection.
There are two operating modes in wireless LAN:
infrastructure and ad hoc.
The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of
communication: wireless devices are connected to each
other through a wireless LAN access point device, or
wireless devices are connected to a wired LAN through a
wireless LAN access point device.
In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and receive
data directly with each other. To create an Internet access
point for the ad hoc network, see ‘Access points’, p. 101.
Tip! To check the unique media access control (MAC)
address that identifies your device, enter *#62209526#
in the standby mode.
Home network
Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP). With a wireless LAN access point device, you can
create a home network and connect compatible UPnP
devices that support wireless LAN to the network, such as
your Nokia N93, a compatible PC, a compatible printer, and
a compatible sound system or a TV, or a sound system or
TV equipped with a compatible wireless multimedia
receiver.
After you have configured the home network, you can
copy, view, or play compatible media files and print images
in Gallery on the other connected compatible devices, for
example, view images stored on your Nokia N93 on a
compatible TV. See ‘Home network’, p. 86 and ‘Image print’,
p. 39.
Copyright protections may prevent some images, music
(including ringing tones), and other content from being
copied, transferred, viewed, played, or printed.
To set up home networking in your wireless LAN, first
create and configure your wireless LAN home Internet
access point, then configure the devices. On your Nokia
N93, configure the settings in the Home network
application. To connect a compatible PC to the home
network, on the PC, you must install the Media Server
software from the DVD-ROM supplied with your Nokia
N93.
After you have completed the necessary configurations in
all devices connected to the network, you can start using
Home network to share your media files. See ‘View media
files’, p. 88.
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.
Important: Always enable one of the available
encryption methods to increase the security of your
wireless LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the
risk of unauthorize access to your data.
Your device is connected to the home network only if you
accept a connection request from another device, or in
Gallery, select the option to view, play, print, or copy
media files on your Nokia N93 or search for other devices
in the Home network folder.
Important security information
When you configure your wireless LAN home network,
enable an encryption method, first on your access point
device, then on the other devices you intend to connect to
Your Nokia N93
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 Nokia N93, see ‘Access
points’, p. 101.
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
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 N93 files with other
devices, or do not share any private media files. To change
sharing settings, see ‘Home network settings’, p. 87.
