SETTINGS
Your terminal is a new generation machine that will be part of your
local network just like a PC. Its built-in local network access card will
enable you to send documents through an SMTP/POP3 local
message server (internally or externally, depending on the settings
of your message server).
To benefit from all the available network options, you should make
the following settings, described in the sections below:
• local network settings, to introduce your fax machine into your
local network.
• message service settings, for all your faxes and E-mails to be
automatically managed by your message server.
Caution - Although rather simple, network settings sometimes
require a sound knowledge of your own computer configuration. If
that is administrated by anyone in your company, we recommend
you ask that person for the settings described below.

Automatic configuration
We recommend that you carry out a manual configuration of your
terminal. The automatic configuration of the local network settings
may be considered, if your local network features a DHCP or BOOTP
server that can dynamically assign addresses to the peripheral
devices present on the LAN.
To automatically configure the local network settings:
2531 OK - SETUP / NETWORKS / LOCAL NETWORK /
CONFIGURATION
+
Choose AUTOMATIC and press OK to confirm. The terminal
scans the local network for a DHCP or BOOTP server that can
assign it its 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, you should carry out a manual configuration (see
below).
Manual configuration
To configure your terminal manually, you should obtain the usual
information used to set a peripheral device (IP address, sub-network
mask, network and gateway address).
