Before attempting to configure a wireless network, confirm the following:
• Before configuring wireless settings, you must know your Network name (SSID) and Network Key
(Password).
If you do not know this security information, contact the router manufacturer, your system administrator, or
your Internet provider.
• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document scanning, place the Brother machine as close to
the wireless access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the
two devices and interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your
documents.
Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and
applications.

If your wireless access point/router supports WPS, you can use the Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method
to configure your wireless network settings.
The PIN Method is one of the connection methods developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance
®
. By submitting a PIN
created by an Enrollee (your machine) to the Registrar (a device that manages the wireless LAN), you can set up
the wireless network and security settings. For more information on how to access WPS mode, see the
instructions provided with your wireless access point/router.
Type A
Connection when the wireless access point/router (1) doubles as the Registrar.
Type B
Connection when another device (2), such as a computer, is used as the Registrar.
Routers or access points that support WPS are marked with this symbol:
1. Press [Settings] > [Network] > [WLAN] > [WPS w/ PIN Code].
2. When [Enable WLAN? Do you want to continue?] appears, press [Yes].

Supported Security Certificate Features
Related Models: ADS-1700W
Your Brother machine supports the use of multiple security certificates, which allows secure management,
authentication, and communication with the machine. The following security certificate features can be used with
the machine:
• SSL/TLS communication
• SSL communication for SMTP
The Brother machine supports the following:
• Pre-installed certificate
Your machine has a pre-installed self-signed certificate. This certificate enables you to use SSL/TLS
communication without creating or installing a different certificate.
The pre-installed self-signed certificate protects your communication up to a certain level. We recommend
using a certificate that is issued by a trusted organization for better security.
• Self-signed certificate
This machine issues its own certificate. Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS communication
without creating or installing a different certificate from a CA.
• Certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA)
There are two methods for installing a certificate from a CA. If you already have a certificate from a CA or if
you want to use a certificate from an external trusted CA:
- When using a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from this machine.
- When importing a certificate and a private key.
• Certificate Authority (CA) Certificate
To use a CA certificate that identifies the CA and owns its private key, you must import that CA certificate
from the CA before configuring the security features of the Network.
• If you are going to use SSL/TLS communication, we recommend contacting your system administrator
first.
• When you reset the machine back to its default factory settings, the certificate and the private key that
are installed will be deleted. If you want to keep the same certificate and the private key after resetting
the machine, export them before resetting, and then reinstall them.

on your machine. In Web Based Management, navigate to the CA Certificate screen to view certificate content,
delete, or export your certificates.
You can store up to three CA certificates to use SSL.
We recommend storing one certificate fewer than allowed, reserving an empty spot in case of certificate
expiration. When a certificate expires, import a new certificate into the reserved spot, and then delete the expired
certificate. This ensures that you avoid configuration failure.
When you use SSL for SMTP communications, you do not have to select a certificate. The necessary
certificate is selected automatically.

Sending an Email with User Authentication
Your Brother machine supports the SMTP-AUTH method to send email via an email server that requires user
authentication. This method prevents unauthorized users from accessing the email server. You can use Web
Based Management to configure these settings. You can use SMTP-AUTH for email notification, email reports
and Scan to Email Server.
• Email Client Settings
- You must match the SMTP authentication method settings with the method used by your email
application.
- Contact your network administrator or your ISP about the email client configuration.
- You must select the SMTP-AUTH check box of Server Authentication Method to enable SMTP server
authentication.
• SMTP settings
- You can change the SMTP port number using Web Based Management. This is useful if your ISP
(Internet Service Provider) implements the “Outbound Port 25 Blocking (OP25B)” service.
- By changing the SMTP port number to a specific number that your ISP is using for the SMTP server (for
example, port 587), you can send an email via the SMTP server.
Sending an Email Securely Using SSL/TLS
This machine supports TLS to send an email via an email server that requires secure TLS communication. To
send email via an email server that is using TLS communication, you must configure TLS correctly.
• Port Number
- If you selected SSL/TLS, the Port value is changed to match the protocol. To change the port number
manually, type the port number.
- You must configure the SMTP communication method to match the email server. For more information
about the email server settings, contact your network administrator or ISP (Internet Service Provider).
In most cases, the secured webmail services require the following settings:
SMTP
Port 587
Server Authentication Method SMTP-AUTH
