Before configuring the wireless settings

IMPORTANT
The following instructions will install your Brother machine in a network environment using the Brother
installer application for Macintosh found on the CD-ROM we have provided with the machine.
You must know your wireless network settings before you proceed with this installation. Make sure
you take notes on all the current settings such as the SSID, authentication and encryption of your wireless
network environment. If you do not know them, contact your network administrator or the manufacturer of
your access point/router.

WPA/WPA2-PSK is a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key, which lets the Brother wireless machine associate with access points using
TKIP or AES encryption (WPA-Personal). WPA-PSK(TKIP or AES) and WPA2-PSK(AES) use a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more
characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.

The WEP key is for 64-bit 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:
64-bit ASCII:
64-bit Hexadecimal:
128-bit ASCII:
128-bit Hexadecimal:
If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the printer, you must reset the print server back
to its factory default settings (see Reset the network settings to the factory default on page 118).
