PART 7: ESTABLISH A WIRELESS CONNECTION:

This information can be found on the network configuration page of your wireless router or Access

Point. Please refer to the router or access point's user guide for instructions on accessing the

network configuration page. This information includes:

a. SSID (Service Set ID or Network name): Your Access Point or Wireless Routers are identified

by an SSID or Network Name.

b. Authentication (Open System or Shared Key)/Encryption Type (None or WEP)

WEP Key (If needed)

d. WPA/WPA2-PSK Encryption type (TKIP or AES) (If needed)

e. WPA/WPA2-PSK (Pre-shared Key) (If needed)

2. Verify the Wireless Router or Access Point is setup for DHCP. This setting is required in order for the

router or access point to broadcast a valid IP address to the device. Please refer to the user guide of

your wireless router or access point for additional information.

3. If the Brother machine was previously configured for wireless connection, continue to step 4. If the

machine was NOT configured for wireless connection, go to step 5.

4. If the Brother machine was previously configured for wireless connection the network settings need

to be reset before the unit can be configured for new wireless settings. Complete the following steps

to reset the Network Card.
