Using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ 3
If your wireless access point supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (PIN Method), you can configure the machine
easily. The PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method is one of the connection methods developed by the
Wi-Fi Alliance. By inputting a PIN which is created by an Enrollee (your machine) to the Registrar (a device
that manages the wireless LAN), 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 the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™
mode.
