Nokia E70 - Manuel (Page 48)

Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) is similar to GPRS, but it enables faster connection. For more information on the availability of EGPRS
and data transfer speed, contact your network operator or service provider. Note that when you have selected GPRS as a data
bearer, the device uses EGPRS instead of GPRS if this is available in the network.
During a voice call, you cannot establish a GPRS connection, and any existing GPRS connection is put on hold.
Wireless local area network (WLAN)
Some places, like France, have restrictions on the use of wireless LAN. Check with your local authorities for more information.
Features using wireless LAN, or allowing such features to run in the background while using other features, increase the demand
on battery power and reduce the battery life.
This device can detect and connect to a wireless local area network.
If you move the device to another location within the wireless LAN and out of range of a wireless LAN access point, the roaming
functionality can automatically connect your device to another access point that belongs to the same network. As long as you
remain within range of access points that belong to the same network, your device can stay connected to the network.
Tip: A wireless LAN connection is established when you create a data connection using a wireless LAN Internet access
point. The active wireless LAN connection is ended when you end the data connection.
Your device enables different types of communication in a wireless LAN. The two operating modes are infrastructure and ad
hoc.
• The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of communication: wireless devices communicate with each other
through a wireless LAN access point or wireless devices communicate with a wired LAN device through a wireless LAN access
point. The advantage of the infrastructure operating mode is that you can have more control over network connections
because they pass through an access point. A wireless device can access the services that are available in a regular wired LAN:
company database, e-mail, the Internet, and other network resources, for example.
• In the ad hoc operating mode you can send data to and receive it from other devices with compatible wireless LAN support ,
for example, to be printed. These functions may require an additional third party application to work. No wireless LAN access
point is required. Simply make the necessary configurations and start communicating. Ad hoc networking is easy to set up,
but communication is limited to devices that are within range and support compatible wireless LAN technology.
