SETTINGS
(
DEPENDING ON MODEL
)
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.

OCAL NETWORK SETTINGS
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:
M 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).
