For Wireless Network Users

For wireless network interface users (DCP-373CW/375CW/377CW only)

Before you begin

10

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your network access
point/router. After the machine is configured to communicate with your access point/router, computers on your
network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from these computers, you will need to install the
drivers and software. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.

To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the
network access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two
devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents.

Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and
applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics, you
may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer or USB for the fastest throughput speed.

Although the Brother DCP-373CW/375CW/377CW can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one of
the connection methods can be used at a time.

IMPORTANT

If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the machine you must reset the network
(LAN) settings before you can configure the wireless settings again.
On your machine, press Menu. Press a or b to choose 3.Network and press OK.
Press a or b to choose 0.Network Reset, and then press OK.
Press a twice to choose Reset and Yes.

The following instructions are for infrastructure mode (connected to a computer through an access point/router).

Note

To set up your machine in Ad-hoc mode (connected to a wireless capable computer without an access
point/router) you can find instructions in the Network User's Guide on the CD-ROM.

You can view the Network User’s Guide by following the instructions below.

For Wireless Network Users

Confirm your network environment (Infrastructure Mode)

11

The following instructions will offer two methods for installing your Brother machine in a wireless network
environment. Both methods are for infrastructure mode, using a wireless access point/router that uses DHCP to
assign IP addresses. Choose a configuration method and proceed to the page indicated.

a If your wireless access point/router does not support SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup

or AOSS™, write down the wireless network settings of your wireless access point/router in the
area below.

IMPORTANT

If you do not know this information (Network Name (SSID/ESSID), and Password), you cannot
continue the wireless setup. You should see the documentation provided with your wireless
access point/router, consult the router manufacturer, or your system administrator.

Item

Network Name: (SSID/ESSID)

Password

Your Brother machine supports the use of the first WEP KEY only. If you are using a router that is using
more than one WEP KEY enter the KEY used for the first WEP KEY.
