(For Windows

98/98SE/Me/2000 Professional/XP in infrastructure mode)

Important

Make sure that you have finished the

instructions from Step 1 Setting Up the

Machine on page 4-9.

These instructions will install your Brother machine in a

typical small office or home wireless network environment

in infrastructure mode, using a wireless router or access

point that uses DHCP to assign IP addresses.

If you want to setup your machine in any other

wireless environment you can find instructions in the

Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.

You can view the Network User’s Guide by following

the instructions below.

1 Turn on your PC. Insert the Brother CD-ROM

labeled Windows

into your CD-ROM drive.

2 If the model name screen appears, click your

model name.

3 If the language screen appears, click your

language. The CD-ROM main menu will appear.

4 Click Documentation.

5 Click the User’s Guide.

6 Click the Network User’s Guide.

Note

If the window does not appear, use Windows

Explorer to run the setup.exe program from the

root directory of the Brother CD-ROM.

To achieve optimum results with normal every day

document printing, place the Brother machine as

close to the network access point (router) as possible

with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls

between the two devices as well as interference from

other electronic devices can affect the data transfer

speed of your documents.

Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best

method of connection for all types of documents and

applications. If you are printing large files, such as

photos on glossy paper or multi-page documents with

mixed text and large graphics, you may want to

consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data

transfer, or USB for the fastest throughput speed.

First you must configure the wireless network settings

of your machine to communicate with your network

access point (router). After the machine is configured

to communicate with your access point computers on

your network will have access to the machine. To use

the machine from these computers, you will need to

install the MFL-Pro Software Suite. The following

steps will guide you through the configuration and

installation process.

1 Write down the wireless network settings of

your access point or wireless router.

SSID (Service Set ID or Network name)

_________________________

WEP Key (if needed)

_________________________

WPA-PSK (TKIP) (if needed)

_________________________

The WEP key is for 64bit encrypted networks

or 128 bit encrypted networks and can contain

both numbers and letters. If you do not know

this information you should see the

documentation provided with your access point

or wireless router. This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit

value that must be entered in an ASCII or

HEXADECIMAL format.

For example:

WPA-PSK enables a Protected Access Pre-

shared key that allows the Brother wireless

machine to associate with access points using

TKIP encryption. WPA-PSK uses a Pre-Shared

Key that is more than 7 and less than 64

characters in length.

Note

Your machine supports WEP and WPA-

PSK(TKIP). WPA-PSK(AES) is not supported.

See Chapter 3 of the Network User’s Guide for

more details.

64 bit ASCII: Uses 5 text characters.

e.g. “Hello” (this is case sensitive)

64 bit

Hexadecimal:

Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data.

e.g. “71f2234aba”

128 bit ASCII: Uses 13 text characters.

e.g. “Wirelesscomms” (this is case

sensitive)

128 bit

Hexadecimal:

Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data.

e.g. “71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa3ba”
