2.10 Configuring the unit to

access the LAN

You can print documents, scan documents, receive

faxes or send faxes using a computer on the LAN. To

enable these features, you need to set the IP address,

subnet mask, and default gateway for the unit.

Important:

L Consult your network administrator when setting

the IP address, subnet mask, and default

gateway.

2.10.1 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.

1 After connecting the LAN cable to the unit and the

computer, turn the power switch ON.

L The IP address, subnet mask, and default

gateway will be set automatically.

2 Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that

you want to use it with. See page 25 for details.

Note:

L You 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 unnecessary trouble.

2.10.2 Setting up manually

Your situation:

– When your network administrator does not manage

the network with a DHCP server.

– When two or more units are connected to the LAN.

You need to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and

default gateway manually.
