2. Preparation 2.13 Configuring the unit to access the LAN You can use printer, scanner, fax, telephone answering machine features using a computer connected to the LAN. To enable these features, you need to set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the unit. Important: R Consult your network administrator when setting the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. 2.13.1 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. R 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 31 for details. Note: R 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. 2.13.2 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.
