Connectivity
There are several different connectivity types you can use with your device. You can use wireless connectivity methods such as
wireless LAN, Bluetooth or infrared, or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable connection for PC Suite or IP passthrough.
Wireless LAN
You can define access points for wireless LAN to use it for Internet access for applications that need to connect to the Internet.
Setting up an ad hoc network
With 3rd party applications, ad hoc networks allow wireless stations to communicate directly with each other without any
wireless LAN access points. One user creates the ad hoc network and other users then join the network.
You must first create an Internet access point for the ad hoc network.
To create an Internet access point for an ad hoc network
1. Select 
Desk
 > 
Tools
 > 
Control panel
, and select 
Connections
 > 
Internet setup
.
2. Press 
New
. If you want, you can use an existing access point as a basis for the new one.
3. Define the settings.
•
Internet settings name
 — Give a descriptive name for the connection.
•
Network ID
 — Select the network ID according to the destination network you want to access with the Internet access
point. You can rename, and create new network IDs. Using the correct network ID ensures that the data traffic is routed
directly to the desired destination network. Especially VPN (virtual private network) software may restrict data traffic for
a certain destination network.
•
Internet settings type
 — Select wireless LAN as the connection type.
•
Network mode
 — Select 
Ad hoc
.
•
Network name

•
Security mode
 — Select 
WEP
 if you want to use a WEP (wired equivalent privacy) key for authentication.
4. If you selected 
WEP
 as a security mode, you need to configure these settings, too.
•
WEP key index
 — Select a number for the WEP key.
•
WEP key length
 — Select the appropriate key length. Supported key lengths are 40, 104, and 232 bits. The more bits there
are in the key, the higher the level of security.
•
WEP key type
 — Select whether you want to enter the WEP key data in hexadecimal format (
HEX
) or in text form (
ASCII
).
•
WEP key data
 — Enter the WEP key data. The number of characters you can enter depends on the key length you have
chosen. For example, keys that are 40 bits long, consist of 5 alphanumeric characters, or 10 hexadecimal characters.
5. Press 
Finish
 or 
Done
 when you have configured all the settings. If you need to configure advanced settings, press 
Advanced
.
Cable connection
You can also connect the cable to the desk stand of the device. Note that if you connect the cable to the desk stand, the connector
of the cable must be connected upside down.
Note that you must install the DKU-2 driver to your PC before you can use a cable connection. See the sales package CD-ROM or
www.nokia.com for details.
IP passthrough
You can also use a cable for 
IP passthrough
, where the device uses the Internet connection of a computer. You can use IP
passthrough as you use any Internet access point, for example for browsing or remote synchronization.
Note that you cannot use IP passthrough at the same time as Nokia PC Suite. You can define cable connection settings in 
Control
panel
Note that you cannot activate modem if you select 
IP passthrough
 in cable connection settings. You must use 
PC Suite
connection
, or 
IP passthrough overrides PC Suite
 with no active IP passthrough connection.

Profile, Dial-Up Networking Profile, Generic Object Exchange Profile, Object Push profile, File Transfer Profile, SIM Access Profile,
