Overview 1

Wi-Fi Direct™ is one of the wireless configuration methods developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance

. It allows you to

configure a secured wireless network between your Brother machine and a mobile device, such as an

Android™ device, Windows

Phone device, iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, without using an access point.

Wi-Fi Direct™ supports wireless network configuration using the one-push or PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected

Setup™ (WPS). You can also configure a wireless network by manually setting an SSID and password. Your

Brother machine’s Wi-Fi Direct™ feature supports WPA2™ security with AES encryption.

1 Mobile device

2 Your Brother machine

NOTE

• Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection

method can be used at a time. However, a wireless network connection and Wi-Fi Direct™ connection, or

a wired network connection and Wi-Fi Direct™ connection can be used at the same time.

• The Wi-Fi Direct™ supported device can become a Group Owner (G/O). When configuring the

Wi-Fi Direct™ network, the G/O serves as an access point (see Group Owner (G/O) on page 18).

• When your Brother machine is the G/O, it supports one-to-one wireless communication using

Wi-Fi Direct™.

• Ad-Hoc mode and Wi-Fi Direct™ cannot be used at the same time. You must disable one function in order

to enable the other. If you want to use Wi-Fi Direct™ while you are using Ad-Hoc mode, set Network I/F

to LAN or disable Ad-Hoc mode, and then connect your Brother machine to the access point.
