2.13 Configuring the unit to access the LAN

You can use printer, scanner, fax, telephone answering machine features using a computer connected to the LAN. To enable these features, you need to set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the unit.

Important:

RConsult your network administrator when setting the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

2.13.1 Setting up automatically with a DHCP server

Your situation:

–When only one unit is connected to the LAN.

If your network administrator manages the network with a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, it will automatically assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the unit.

1After connecting the LAN cable to the unit and the computer, turn the power switch ON.

R The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway will be set automatically.

2Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that you want to use it with. See page 31 for details.

Note:

RYou can connect two or more units and assign IP addresses automatically with a DHCP server, but we recommend assigning static IP addresses manually for each unit to avoid network access and configuration troubles.

2.13.2 Setting up manually
