First things first, your Nokia Phone must be 802.11 enabled, be it a Nseries or an Eseries phone. I am using S60 3rd edition Symbian OS 9.2 as an example. But in theory it should work with other editions of S60 Symbian OS as well.

We will be using NUS WLAN SSID “NUS” instead of “NUSOPEN”, as “NUS” is protected by [PEAP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_Extensible_Authentication_Protocol).

Lets begin:  
**Part 1 – Defining NUS SSID**

1. Go to **Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points**
2. Click on **Options**, then **New access point**
3. Under **Connection name**, key in **NUS**
4. Under **Data bearer**, select **Wireless LAN**
5. Under **WLAN netw. name**, key in **NUS**
6. Under **Network status**, leave it as **Public**
7. Under **WLAN netw. mode**, leave it as **Infrastructure**
8. Under **WLAN security mode**, select **802.1x**
9. Click on **WLAN security settings**, and you will get into a new page
10. Under **The WPA/WPA2** , leave it as **EAP**
11. Click on **EAP plugin-settings**, and you will get into a new page
12. Ensure ONLY **EAP-PEAP** is ENABLED (check mark will only appear beside EAP-PEAP). You can disable the remaining EAP types by going to **Options > Disable**
13. Click on **EAP-PEAP**, and you will get into a new page

**Part 2 – Configuring EAP-PEAP**

14. Under **Personal certificate**, leave it as **Not defined**
15. Under **Authority certificate**, select **Thawte Premium Server**
16. Under **User name in use**, select **User defined**
17. Under **User name**, key in **your NUSNET UserID** (EXCLUDING the domain (NUSSTU, NUSSTF or GUEST) portion)
18. Under **Realm in use**, select **User defined**
19. Under **Realm**, leave it as **BLANK**
20. Under **Allow PEAPv0**, select **Yes**
21. Under **Allow PEAPv1**, select **No**
22. Under **Allow PEAPv2**, select **No**
23. Move to **EAPs** tab, by pressing your right arrow key

**Part 3 – Configuring EAP-MSCHAPv2**

24. Ensure ONLY **EAP-MSCHAPv2** is ENABLED (check mark will only appear beside EAP-MSCHAPv2). You can disable the remaining EAP types by going to **Options > Disable**
25. Click on **EAP-MSCHAPv2**, and you will get into a new page
26. Under **User name**, key in **your NUSNET UserID** (EXCLUDING the domain portion)
27. Under **Prompt password**, select **No**
28. Under **Password**, key in **your NUSNET Password**
29. Click **Back** about 10 times or enough times to reach the standby screen

**Part 4 – Scanning For NUS SSID**

30. Turn **On** your **WLAN scanning** and you should be able to detect and connect to NUS wireless network

No screenshots are included as I think it is pretty straightforward.
