To use Internet Fax
• a Network Card must be installed in the machine
• the machine must be connected to a LAN
The Network Card for this machine can be connected to a
• 10 baseT
or
• 10/100baseTX LAN (will only operate at 10 base T).
To make a LAN connection, the following information must be
configured on this machine. Ask your network administrator
about these settings.
• an IP Address
• SubnetMask
• Default Gateway
If the LAN uses a DHCP server, it is not necessary to configure
these settings as the server will perform them automatically.
After setting the correct IP Address, SubnetMask and Default
Gateway, configure the machine for Internet Fax transmission/
reception.
