Using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup

If your WLAN access point/router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (PIN Method), you can configure the
machine easily. The PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method is one of the connection methods
developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance
®
. By inputting a PIN which is created by an Enrollee (your machine) to the
Registrar (a device that manages the wireless LAN), you can setup the WLAN network and security settings.
See the user’s guide supplied with your WLAN access point/router for instructions on how to access the
Wi-Fi Protected Setup mode.
Note
Routers or access points that support Wi-Fi Protected Setup have a symbol as shown below.
