Networking and connectivity options
The SendPro MailCenter has multiple choices for how to configure your system for connectivity to
Pitney Bowes.
Connect via direct connection (direct LAN Ethernet). This is the preferred connection
l
method because of reliability and the most common configuration in office, warehouse, and mail
center environments. The new SendPro MailCenter system can directly connect to an open port
– called a "network drop". Network drops exist throughout buildings, and are very often available
for a SendPro MailCenter connection.
Connect via a WiFi Network where an access point is available.Wireless LAN Ethernet
l
(connect to a WiFi Network) is the second most common connection method, and is often used
when a network drop is not available for the mailing and shipping system. The system connects
to your WiFi network using a Pitney Bowes-provided wireless adaptor. The wireless adaptor
connects via a USB port.
Connect via a WiFi Network where no access point is available. Wireless LAN Ethernet
l
plus a wireless router is required if you do not have an "access point" located within a
reasonable distance to the system. (An access point is like a transmitter, where wireless signals
are captured by the network.) This wireless option from Pitney Bowes includes the USB wreless
device and the wireless access point for your network.
Connect via a Broadband Cellular Network.The 3G Cellular option provides the hardware
l
necessary for a 3G Internet connection directly from the mailing and shipping system to the
Internet, bypassing and not relying on any local networks. The 3G cellular option requires
coverage by the Pitney Bowes-designated carrier (subscription fee applies).
