2.11 Configuring the unit to
access the LAN

You can print documents, scan documents, receive
faxes or send faxes (KX-MB3020 only) using a computer
on the LAN. To enable these features, you need to set
the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the
unit.

Important:

L

Consult your network administrator when setting
the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway.

2.11.1 Setting up automatically with a
DHCP server

Your situation:

When only one unit is connected to the LAN.

If your network administrator manages the network with
a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, it
will automatically assign an IP (Internet Protocol)
address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the unit.

1

After connecting the LAN cable to the unit and the
computer, turn the power switch ON.

L

The IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway will be set automatically.

2

Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that
you want to use it with. See page 23 for details.

Note:

L

You can connect two or more units and assign IP
addresses automatically with a DHCP server, but we
recommend assigning static IP addresses manually
for each unit to avoid network access and
configuration troubles.

2.11.2 Setting up manually

Your situation:

When your network administrator does not manage
the network with a DHCP server.

When two or more units are connected to the LAN.

You need to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway manually.
