Setting up a wireless (Wi-Fi) network connection

Introduction

The Communication Device can be setup for wireless usage, enabling you to move
your Franking Machine to any location that is within the range of a wireless access
point on your network.
You should have a working knowledge of your wireless network in order to
complete the setup successfully. Follow the steps below. If at any point you are not
certain how to proceed, consult with your IT specialist/network administrator.

Before setting up the Communication Device for wireless operation:

• Have the name (i.e., SSID) and password (i.e., key) available for your wireless
network/router. The SSID may be printed on the bottom of your wireless router.
• Find out if any special settings are necessary to install a new device on your
wireless network, such as static IPs, proxy servers or non-standard wireless
network settings.
• Ensure the Wireless USB Plug-in is installed in one of the USB ports in the
Communication Device (see illustration).
• Be sure a wireless access point (transmitter) is
close enough to the location of your Franking
Machine to have good signal strength.
• Determine if your network supports Wi-Fi
Protected Setup.
You can do this by checking your router documentation or looking on the router
to see if it has a button labelled "WPS" or the symbol
If it supports WPS, you may choose to follow the instructions "Wi-Fi Protected
Setup" later in this guide instead of performing the standard Wi-Fi setup
instructions on the following pages.
