Using the SES/WPS or AOSS™ control panel menu to configure your machine for a wireless network (Automatic Wireless mode)

If your wireless access point/router supports either SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup (PBC¹) or AOSS™, you can configure the machine easily without knowing your wireless network settings. Your Brother machine has the SES/WPS/AOSS™ menu on the control panel. This feature automatically detects which mode your access point uses, SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup or AOSS™. By pushing a button on the wireless access point/router and the machine, you can setup the wireless network and security settings. See the user’s guide for your wireless access point/router for instructions on how to access one-push mode.

Setting WLAN

Put your access point in the SecureEasySetup™ mode, Wi-Fi Protected Setup mode or AOSS™ mode, depending on what is supported by your access point. Please refer to the instruction manual that came with your access point. You will see Connecting AOSS, Connecting SES or Connecting WPS on the LCD while the machine searches your access point.

If the LCD shows Connected, the machine has successfully connected to your access point/router. You can now use your machine in a wireless network.

If the LCD shows Connection Error, a session overlap has been detected. The machine has detected more than one access point/router on your network with the SecureEasySetup™ mode, the Wi-Fi Protected Setup mode or AOSS™ mode enabled. Make sure that only one access point/router has the SecureEasySetup™ mode, the Wi-Fi Protected Setup mode or the AOSS™ mode enabled and try starting from step 3 again.

If the LCD shows No Access Point, the machine has not detected your access point/router on your network with the SecureEasySetup™ mode, the Wi-Fi Protected Setup mode or AOSS™ mode enabled. Move the machine closer to your access point/router and try starting from step 3 again.

If the LCD shows Connection Fail, the machine has not successfully connected to your access point/router. Try starting from step 3 again. If the same message is indicated again, reset the machine back to the default factory settings and try again. (For resetting, see Restoring the network settings to factory default.)
