About home network
Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP) and certified by Digital Living Network Alliance
(DLNA). You can use a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point
device or a WLAN router to create a home network.
Then you can connect compatible UPnP devices that
support WLAN to the network. Compatible devices may
be your mobile device, a compatible PC, sound system,
or television, or a compatible wireless multimedia
receiver connected to a sound system or a 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 enable

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.
After setting up your home network you can share
photos, music, and video 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.
