1. INTRODUCTIONThis document describes how to connect Nokia Symbian device to RMIT secure wireless

network (RMIT-WPA). This document is written based on Nokia E55 (firmware v34),

Symbian OS 9.3 S60 Rel 3.2. Other Nokia Symbian handsets may have different interface,

but settings should be identical.

Please be advised that not all Nokia handsets can connect to Secure Wireless Local Area

Networks (WLAN). Handsets that support the following wireless standards should be able to

connect to RMIT-WPA secure WLAN:

Connectivity: IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n Security: WLAN Protected Access (WPA2-Enterprise) Encryption Standard: AES Authentication: EAP-TTLS Inner Authentication: PAP

Recent Nokia E-series and N-series should support these standards and features. A firmwareupgrade is recommended if you cannot find the relevant settings on your handset.

your RMIT network (NDS) account to make this connection. This is your username and

password that you use to log in to the RMIT network. For students, this is yours number;

for staff, your e number.

Please remember that each time you change your network password, you must change the

stored RMIT connection information which is in your Nokia Symbian device
