Configuration In Ad-Hoc Mode; Before Configuring The Wireless Settings - Brother HL-4050CDN Network User's Manual

Configuration in Ad-hoc mode

Note
• If you are going to connect the printer to your network, we recommend that you contact your system
administrator prior to installation.
• Before installation, if you are using Personal Firewall software (e.g. Windows Firewall), disable it. Once
you are sure that you can print, restart your Personal Firewall software.

Before configuring the wireless settings

IMPORTANT
If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the printer, you must reset the print server back
to the default factory settings (see Restoring the network settings to factory default on page 117) and
enable the WLAN setting from the control panel. See Enabling the wireless network using the control panel
on this page.
