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 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:
WPA-PSK enables a Protected Access
Pre-shared key that allows the Brother wireless
machine to associate with access points using
TKIP and AES encryption. WPA-PSK uses a
Pre-Shared Key that is 8 or more characters in
length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.
Cisco
® LEAP has been developed by Cisco
Systems, Inc. which uses user ID and
password for authentication. The LEAP User
ID is up to a maximum of 63 characters in
length, and the Password is up to a maximum
of 31 characters in length.
See Chapter 3 of the Network User’s Guide for
