About home network

Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and Play

(UPnP) and certified by the Digital Living Network

Alliance (DLNA). You can use a wireless LAN (WLAN)

access point device or router to create a home network.

Then you can connect compatible WLAN-enabled UPnP

devices to the network. Compatible devices may be

your mobile device, a compatible PC, a sound system,

a television, or a compatible wireless multimedia

receiver connected to a sound system or television.
You can share and synchronise media files in your

mobile device with other compatible UPnP and DLNA

certified devices using the home network. To activate

To use the WLAN function of your device in a home

network, you must have a working WLAN home

connection and have other UPnP enabled home devices

connected to the same home network.
After setting up your home network, you can share

your photos and video clips with your friends and

family at home. You are also able to store your media

to a media server or retrieve media files from a

compatible home server. You can play music stored in

your device using a DLNA certified home stereo system,

controlling the playlists and volume levels directly from

your device. You can also view images captured with

the camera of your device on a compatible TV screen,

all controlled with your device over WLAN.
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.
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,

or copy media files on your device or search for other

devices.
