About home network
Your device is compatible with UPnP. Using a
wireless LAN (WLAN) access point device or a WLAN
router, you can create a home network and connect
compatible UPnP devices that support WLAN to the
network, such as your device, a compatible PC, a
compatible printer, and a compatible sound system
or television, or a sound system or a television
equipped with a compatible wireless multimedia
receiver.
To use the WLAN function of your device in a home
network, you must have a working WLAN home
connection setup and have other UPnP enabled
home devices to connect to the same home
network.
See "Wireless LAN", p. 102.
The home network uses the security settings of the
WLAN connection. Use the home network feature in
a WLAN infrastructure network with a WLAN access
point device and encryption enabled.
You can share and synchronise media files in your
mobile device with other compatible UPnP devices
using the home network. To manage your home
network settings, press
, and select Tools >
Connectivity > Home media. You can also use the
home network to view, play, copy, or print
compatible media files from your mobile device.
See
"View and share media files", p. 88.
Your device is connected to the home network only
if you accept a connection request from another
compatible device, or select the option to view,
play, print, or copy media files on your device or
search for other devices in the Home network
folder.
