Configuration using the Brother installer application on the CD-ROM to 
configure your wireless network machine 3
You can also use the Brother installer application on the CD-ROM we have provided with the machine. You 
will be guided by the on-screen instructions until you are able to use your Brother wireless network machine. 
You must know your wireless network settings before you proceed with this installation. (See 
Wireless configuration for Windows
®
 using the Brother installer application (Not available for MFC-5490CN 
and MFC-5890CN) on page 38 or Wireless Configuration for Macintosh
®
 using the Brother installer 
application (Not available for MFC-5490CN and MFC-5890CN) on page 58.)
Configuration temporarily using a network cable 3
If there is an Ethernet Hub or Router in the same network as the wireless access point (A) of your machine, 
you can temporarily connect the Hub or Router to the Brother machine using an Ethernet cable (B), this is an 
easy way to configure your machine. You can then remotely configure the machine from a computer on the 
network.
