Wireless LAN connections
To use WLAN, you must create an internet access point
(IAP) in a WLAN. Use the access point for applications that
need to connect to the internet. See ‘WLAN internet access
points’, p. 27.
Important: Always enable one of the available
encryption methods to increase the security of your WLAN
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.
To end the connection, see ‘Connection manager’, p. 28.
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.
