Configuring your machine for a wireless network

Confirm your wireless network setup method 3
There are four methods to configure your machine for a wireless network; by using the machine’s control
panel (recommended), using WPS or AOSS™ from the control panel menu, using the PIN Method of
Wi-Fi Protected Setup or using the Brother installer application. The setup process will be different depending
on your network environment.
Configuration using the machine’s control panel Setup Wizard to configure
your wireless network machine 3
We recommend that you use the machine’s control panel to configure your wireless network settings. By
using the control panel Setup Wizard function, you can easily connect your Brother machine to your
wireless network. You must know your wireless network settings before you proceed with this
installation. (See Using the Setup Wizard from the control panel on page 27.)
Configuration using the WPS/AOSS™ control panel menu
(Infrastructure mode only) 3
If your wireless access point (A) supports either Wi-Fi Protected Setup (PBC
1
) or AOSS™, you can
configure the machine without a computer. (See Using WPS or AOSS™ from the control panel menu to
configure your machine for a wireless network on page 32.)
