wireless network and connects the devices when they are turned on.

Note

Instant (S-IWS) connection is recommended when the network consists only of the devices supplied
with the NAS-SC500PK. If you want to set up the wireless network using a method other than Instant
(S-IWS), see “Connecting to the Internet and your computer (AOSS connection)” on the right or
refer to the “Network connection and setup” on page 98 in the Operating Instructions.
