For Wireless Network Users Connecting the Brother machine to the wireless network IMPORTANT You must have the wireless settings you wrote down for your network in step 18 on page 30 before you proceed. 19 Configure the wireless settings (typical Wireless Setup in infrastructure mode) a On your machine, press Menu. Press a or b to choose Network and press OK. Press a or b to choose WLAN and press OK. Press a or b to choose Setup Wizard and press OK. When Network I/F switched to Wireless is displayed, press OK to accept. This will start the wireless setup wizard. To cancel, press Stop/Exit. b The machine will search for available SSIDs. If a list of SSIDs is displayed, use the a or b keys to choose the SSID you wrote down in step 18-a on page 30, then press OK. If you are using an authentication and encryption method that requires a password, go to c. If your authentication method is Open System and your encryption mode is None, go to d. Note It will take several seconds to display a list of available SSIDs. If a list of SSIDs is not displayed, make sure your access point is on. Move your machine closer to the access point and try starting from a again. If your access point is set to not broadcast the SSID you will have to manually add the SSID name. For details, see the Network User's Guide on the CD-ROM. c Enter the Password you wrote down in step 18-a on page 30 using the dial pad to choose each letter or number. You can use the d and c keys to move the cursor left and right. For example, to enter the letter a, press the 2 key on the dial pad once. To enter the number 3, press the 3 key on the dial pad seven times. The letters appear in this order: lower case, upper case and then numbers. (For more information, see Entering Text for Wireless Settings on page 45.) Press OK when you have entered all the characters, then press 1 for Yes to apply your settings. Go to d. d Your machine will now try to connect to your wireless network using the information you have entered. If successful, Connected will appear for 60 seconds on the LCD. It may take a few minutes to connect to your wireless network. Note If the LCD displays Wrong Password, the password you entered did not match with your access point. Verify your network settings collected in step 18-a on page 30, then repeat a to c to make sure you have entered the correct information. If the LCD displays Connection Fail, make sure your access point is on, and verify your network settings collected in step 18-a on page 30. Temporarily move your machine as close as possible to the access point, then repeat a to c to make sure you have entered the correct information. If your access point does not have DHCP enabled you will need to manually configure the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the machine to suit your network. See Chapter 6 of the Network User's Guide for details. e Press OK. Wireless setup is now complete. A four level indicator at the top of your machine's LCD will show the wireless signal strength of your access point/router. To install MFL-Pro Suite, continue to step 20. 31 Wireless Network
