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. 98.
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.
