How to configure your wireless machine, using SES/WPS or AOSS from the control panel menu

IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
 
If you are going to connect your Brother machine to your network, we recommend that you contact your system administrator prior to installation.

 
If you are using Windows® Firewall or a firewall function of anti-spyware or antivirus applications, temporarily disable them. Once you are sure that you can print, configure the software settings following the instructions.

 
If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the printer, you must reset the print server back to its factory default settings (see Reset the network settings to the factory default).
1
Press any of the Menu buttons (+, -, OK or Back) of the control panel on your machine.
2
Press + or - to choose Network.
Press OK.
3
Press + or - to choose WLAN.
Press OK.
4
Press + or - to choose SES/WPS/AOSS.
Press OK.
Note Note
If your wireless access point supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (PIN Method) and you want to configure your machine using the PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method, see How to configure your wireless machine, using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
5
The machine searches for an access point that supports SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup or AOSS™ for 2 minutes.
6
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.
7
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 1 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 1 again.
 
If the LCD shows Connection Fail, the machine has not successfully connected to your access point/router. Try starting from 1 again. If the same message is indicated again, reset the print server back to its factory default settings and try again. (For resetting, see Reset the network settings to the factory default.)
