Using the SecureEasySetup™ or AOSSsoftware to configure your
machine for a wireless network
Important
Make sure that you have finished the
instructions from STEP 1 Setting Up the
Machine on pages 5 through 15.
The SecureEasySetup™ or AOSS™ software allows
you to configure the wireless network easier than
configuring it manually. By pushing a button on the
wireless router or access point, you can complete
setup and secure the wireless network. Your router or
access point must also support SecureEasySetup™
or AOSS™. See the user’s guide for your wireless
LAN router or access point for instructions to
configure your machine for a wireless network. If your
wireless router or access point does not support
SecureEasySetup™ or AOSS™ go to page 48 for
installation instructions.
Note
Routers or access points that support
SecureEasySetup™ have the
SecureEasySetup™ symbol as shown below.
Note
Routers or access points that support AOSS™
have the AOSS™ symbol as shown below.
Note
Make sure that the machine is turned on by
connecting the power cord.
1 Place the Brother machine close to the
SecureEasySetup™ or AOSS™ router or
access point.
