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.

Now go to

Record the current wireless network settings

page 16

b If your wireless access point/router supports automatic wireless (one-push) setup

(SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup or AOSS™), you can find instructions in the Network
User's Guide on the CD-ROM. To set up your machine in any other wireless environment (Ad-hoc
mode) you can find instructions in the Network User's Guide on the CD-ROM.

Connecting the Brother machine to the wireless network

12

For Wireless Network Users

For example, to enter the letter a, press the a

Configure the wireless settings (typical Wireless Setup in infrastructure mode)

key once. To enter the number 3, hold down
the a key until it appears.

The letters appear in this order: lower case,
upper case, numbers and then special letters.

a On your machine, press Menu.

Press a or b to choose 3.Network and press
OK.
Press a or b to choose 2.WLAN and press OK.
Press a or b to choose 2.Setup Wizard and
press OK.

When Change to WLAN? is displayed, press
a to accept.
This will start the wireless setup wizard.
To cancel, press Stop/Exit.

b The machine will search for available SSIDs. If

a list of SSIDs is displayed, use the a or b keys
to choose the SSID you wrote down in
step 11-a on page 15, then press OK. If you
are using an authentication and encryption
method that requires a password, go to c.

If your authentication method is Open System
and your encryption mode is None, go to d.

Note

It will take several seconds to display a list of
available SSIDs.

If a list of SSIDs is not displayed, make sure your
access point is on. Move your machine closer to
the access point and try starting from a again.

If your access point is set to not broadcast the
SSID you will have to manually add the SSID
name. For details, see the Network User’s
Guide on the CD-ROM.

c Enter the Password you wrote down in

step 11-a on page 15 using the a, b keys to
choose each letter or number.

Use Enlarge/Reduce key or Number of
Copies key to move the cursor left or right.

Press OK when you have entered all the
characters, then press a Yes to apply your
settings. Go to d.

d Your machine will now try to connect to your

wireless network using the information you
have entered. If successful, Connected will
appear for 60 seconds on the LCD.

It may take a few minutes to connect to your
wireless network.

Note

If the LCD displays Wrong Password, the
password you entered did not match with your
access point. Verify your network settings
collected in step 11-a on page 15, then repeat a
to c to make sure you have entered the correct
information.

If the LCD displays Connection Fail, make
sure your access point is on, and verify your
network settings collected in step 11-a on
page 15. Temporarily move your machine as
close as possible to the access point, then
repeat a to c to make sure you have entered the
correct information.

If your access point does not have DHCP enabled
you will need to manually configure the IP
address, subnet mask and gateway of the
machine to suit your network. See Chapter 6 of
the Network User’s Guide for details.

IMPORTANT - For your safety

To ensure safe operation, the supplied three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin electrical
socket that is effectively grounded through the normal household wiring.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded and that the
installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power, consult
a qualified electrician.
