Settings for home network

To share media files saved in Photos with other

compatible UPnP devices through WLAN, you must create

and configure your WLAN home internet access point,

then configure the settings for home network in the

Home media application.

See "WLAN internet access

points", p. 98. See "Connection settings", p. 153.

The options related to home network are not available in

applications before the settings in the Home media

application have been configured.
When you access the Home media application for the first

time, the setup wizard opens and helps you define the

home network settings for your device. To use the setup

wizard later, in the Home media main view, select

Options

>

Run wizard

, and follow the instructions on

the display.

To connect a compatible PC to the home network, on the

PC, you must install the related software. You get the

software from the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM supplied with your

device, or you can download it from the device support

pages on the Nokia website.
