Page 4: Setting Before Using A Network
Setting before using a network Simple Network Settings (via USB) Upon purchase (by default), the main unit's IP address and subnet mask are not yet set. When first connecting the main unit to a network to use it, use the simple network settings to set the main unit's IP address on the network following the procedure below. Notice • When making network settings, following the instructions of the network administrator. • It is not possible to format the computer storage memory from the computer. • Do not press operation buttons on the main unit while the computer storage memory is being accessed from the computer. Doing so will result in increased time for response between the computer and main unit, and operations may not be pos- sible. - Page 5 Setting before using a network Contents upon purchase and when network settings are reset Version:04.00.00.05.00.00.00.52 ..Displays the firmware version of the main unit MAC Address ........Displays the MAC address of the main unit Terminal Name ........Displays the terminal name of the main unit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DHCP=off ...........

- Page 6 Setting before using a network If this machine's top screen does not open • Have you made a mistake inputting the IP address that was set? • Is the main unit’s LAN terminal properly connected to a LAN port on the network? • When using a proxy server, add the main unit’s IP address to the “Exceptions” in the proxy’s settings to set so that the proxy is not used. If DHCP is set to [Off] (default setting upon purchase), the problem may be caused by the following: • Is the IP address that was set being used by another device? • If multiple units of this mashine are connected, are they connected to the network with the same IP address? • Is the IP address that was set within the automatic acquisition range of the DHCP of the router, etc.?

If you plan to store image files on an FTP server, create the folder for storing the files on the FTP server. Ask your network administrator for instructions on settings and creating the folder. Notice • Be sure to transfer important image files stored on the main unit itself to a computer (data backup). If the network board should for some reason malfunction, depending on the malfunction the stored data may be lost or become impossible to transfer. Note that PLUS will accept no responsibility whatsoever for loss of data, etc. • This machine will not operate properly if the firewall is activated. Making Detailed Settings (via LAN) Use this procedure to make the main unit device settings (“CB Setup”), network settings, etc., with the main unit connected to a local area network (hereafter referred to as “LAN” or “the network”) using a computer’s web browser. Access authority is required to make the detailed settings. There are two levels of authority – “administrator authority” and “file list browsing authority”. The selectable menu items (some setting items) are restricted accordingly.
