Wi-Fi Direct is one of the wireless configuration methods developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance

®

. It allows you to

configure a secured wireless network between your Brother machine and a mobile device, such as an Android

device, Windows device, iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, without using an access point. Wi-Fi Direct supports
wireless network configuration using the one-push or PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup

(WPS). You can

also configure a wireless network by manually setting an SSID and password. Your Brother machine's Wi-Fi
Direct feature supports WPA2

security with AES encryption.

Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time. However, a wireless network connection and Wi-Fi Direct connection, or
a wired network connection (supported models only) and Wi-Fi Direct connection can be used at the
same time.

The Wi-Fi Direct-supported device can become a Group Owner (G/O). When configuring the Wi-Fi
Direct network, the G/O serves as an access point.
