Before you begin

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your network router/access point. After the machine is configured to communicate with your router/access point, computers on your network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from these computers, you will need to install the drivers and software. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.

To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the network router/access point as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents.

Although the Brother MFC-6890CDW can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one of the connection methods can be used at a time.

Important

If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the machine you must reset the network

(LAN) settings before you can configure the wireless settings again.

On your machine, press MENU . Press a

or b

to display Network and press Network .

Press a

or b

to display Factory Reset , and then press Factory Reset .

Press Yes to accept. Hold down Yes for 2 seconds to confirm.

Note

The following instructions are for infrastructure mode.

To set up 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 instructions below.

Confirm your network environment (Infrastructure Mode)

The following instructions will offer two methods for installing your Brother machine in a wireless network environment. Both methods are for infrastructure mode, using a wireless router/access point that uses DHCP to assign IP addresses. Choose a configuration method and proceed to the page indicated.

a

If your wireless router/access point does not support SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ or AOSS™, write down the wireless network settings of your access point/router in the area below.

Important

If you do not know this information (Network Name (SSID ESSID), WEP key or WPA passphrase), you cannot continue the wireless setup. You should see the documentation provided with your access point or wireless router, consult the router manufacturer, or your system administrator.

Record the current wireless network settings

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/WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES) uses 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:

Uses 5 text characters e.g. “ Hello ” (this is case sensitive)

Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data e.g.

Uses 13 text characters e.g.

“ Wirelesscomms ” (this is case sensitive)

Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data e.g.
