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 Phone 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 WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup™). 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.

NOTE
• 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 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
• When your Brother machine is the Group Owner (G/O), your Brother machine supports one to one wireless
communication using Wi-Fi Direct.
• Ad-hoc mode and Wi-Fi Direct cannot be used at the same time. Disable one function to enable the other.
If you want to use Wi-Fi Direct while you are using Ad-hoc mode, set Network I/F to Wired LAN or disable
Ad-hoc mode and connect your Brother machine to the access point.

SSID
Each wireless network has its own unique network name and it is technically referred to as the Service Set
Identification (SSID). The SSID is a 32-byte or less value and is assigned to the access point. The wireless
network devices you want to associate to the wireless network should match the access point. The access
point and wireless network devices regularly send wireless packets (referred to as beacons) which have
the SSID information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you can identify wireless
networks that are close enough to connect to.
