About the Wireless LAN Function
What is Wireless LAN Function?
By inserting the wireless USB Adapter (WNA1100-RL; sold separately) into the M-300’s USB MEMORY port, you will be able to use
wireless-compatible applications (such as the “M-300 Remote” iPad app).
fig.wireless-connect.eps
Items required to use the wireless LAN function
• Wireless USB Adapter (sold separately: WNA1100-RL)
• Wireless LAN access point (e.g., wireless LAN router. Not required if using in ad-hoc mode.)
• iPad with M-300 Remote app loaded.
You cannot connect multiple iPad units simultaneously.
Cautions About Wireless LAN Access Point
• The wireless LAN access point you use should support WPS.
• If your wireless LAN access point does not support WPS, you can connect using the procedure described in “Connecting to a Wireless LAN
Access Point That You Select” (p. 8).
• The ability to connect with any wireless LAN access points is not guaranteed.
• If you are unable to connect to the wireless LAN access point, try connecting using Ad-Hoc mode (p. 9).
Caution About M-300 RCS
While the wireless LAN function is enabled, it is not possible to connect with the M-300 RCS. The wireless LAN function is enabled
if “Enable Wireless LAN” is checked in the system setup screen (p. 5). If you are connecting the M-300 RCS, make sure the wireless
LAN function is disabled.

About the Wireless LAN Function
The first time you connect the M-300 to a wireless network, you will need to perform the following procedure (WPS) to join the
wireless network.
* This procedure is required only once. Once you have joined the network, this procedure will no longer be necessary.
What is WPS?
WPS is a standard that makes it easy to make security settings when connecting to a wireless LAN access point. We recommend
that you use WPS when connecting to a wireless LAN access point.
1. Connect WNA1100-RL
Insert the wireless USB Adaptor (WNA1100-RL; sold separately) into the M-300’s USB MEMORY port.

About the Wireless LAN Function
What is Ad-Hoc mode?
Ad-Hoc mode lets you connect the M-300 directly to an iPad without using a wireless LAN access point. This is a convenient way
to use the M-300 with an iPad if you are in a location where the wireless LAN access point you normally use is unavailable.
fig.ad-hoc-image-E.eps
Limitation of Ad-Hoc Mode
The antenna in the Wireless USB adaptor is not as powerful as a typical LAN access point. Therefore using a LAN access point gives
the most robust connection.
The iPad connected in Ad-Hoc mode will be unable to communicate with the Internet or with another wireless device. However,
an iPad that has cellular capability will be able to connect to the Internet via the cellular connection.
Please be aware that if you use a cellular connection for Internet connectivity, you may incur costs depending on your rate plan.
