Local Area Network (LAN) settings

(depending on model)
This is a new generation machine that will be part of the local network just like a PC.
The built-in local network access card will enable you to send documents through an
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or Post Office Protocol (POP3) local message
server (internally or externally, depending on the settings of the message server).
To benefit from all the available network options, you should configure the following
settings, described in the sections below:
• local network settings, to identify the fax machine to the local network,
• message service settings, allowing faxes and E-mails to be automatically managed
by the message server.
Note:

Local network settings

Automatic configuration
We recommend that you carry out a manual configuration of the machine. Automatic
configuration of the local network settings can be performed, if the local network
features a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or Bootstrap Protocol
(BOOTP) server that can dynamically assign addresses to the peripheral devices
present on the LAN.
To automatically configure the local network settings:
Choose AUTOMATIC and press OK to confirm. The machine scans the local
network for a DHCP or BOOTP server that can assign the settings dynamically (the
message SELF-CONF is displayed).
Once the message SELF-CONF has disappeared, check for the IP Address,
Sub-network mask and Gateway address. If these are missing, carry out a manual
configuration (see below).
The system administrator can provide network information.
