Setting your machineLOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) SETTINGS(DEPENDING ON MODEL)Your terminal is a new generation machine that will be part of your local network just like a PC.Its built-in local network access card will enable you to send documents through an SMTP/POP3local message server (internally or externally, depending on the settings of your message server).To benefit from all the available network options, you should make the following settings,described in the sections below:• local network settings, to introduce your fax machine into your local network.• message service settings, for all your faxes and E-mails to be automatically managed byyour message server.Caution - Although rather simple, network settings sometimes require a sound knowledge ofyour own computer configuration. If that is administrated by anyone in your company, werecommend you ask that person for the settings described below.LOCAL NETWORK SETTINGSAutomatic configurationWe recommend that you carry out a manual configuration of your terminal. The automaticconfiguration of the local network settings may be considered, if your local network features aDHCP or BOOTP server that can dynamically assign addresses to the peripheral devices presenton the LAN.To automatically configure the local network settings:2531 OK - SETUP / NETWORKS / LOCAL NETWORK / CONFIGURATION Choose AUTOMATIC and press OK to confirm. The terminal scans the local network for aDHCP or BOOTP server that can assign it its settings dynamically (the messageSELF-CONF is displayed). Once the message SELF-CONF has disappeared, check for the IP Address, Sub-networkmask and Gateway address. If these are missing, you should carry out a manualconfiguration (see below).Manual configurationTo configure your terminal manually, you should obtain the usual information used to set aperipheral device (IP address, sub-network mask, network and gateway address).To configure the local network setting manually:2531 OK - SETUP / NETWORKS / LOCAL NETWORK / CONFIGURATION Choose MANUAL and press OK to confirm.3-11
