WLAN connections

To use WLAN, you must create an internet access point

(IAP) for WLAN. Use the access point for applications

that need to connect to the internet.

See "WLAN

internet access points", p. 39.

Important: Always enable one of the available

encryption methods to increase the security of your

wireless LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the

risk of unauthorised access to your data.
A WLAN connection is established when you create a

data connection using a WLAN internet access point.

The active WLAN connection ends when you end the

data connection.
You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet

data is active. You can only be connected to one WLAN

access point device at a time, but several applications

can use the same internet access point.
When the device is in the offline profile, you can still

use WLAN (if available). Remember to comply with any

applicable safety requirements when establishing and

using a WLAN connection.

Tip: To check the unique media access control

(MAC) address that identifies your device, enter

*#62209526# in the standby mode.
