2.10 Configuring the unit to
access the LAN (KX-MB781 only)
You can print documents, scan documents, receive
faxes or send faxes 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:
LConsult your network administrator when setting
the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway.
2.10.1 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.
1After connecting the LAN cable to the unit and the
computer, connect the power cord.
LThe IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway will be set automatically.
2Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that
you want to use it with. See page 22 for details.
Note:
LYou 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 unnecessary trouble.
2.10.2 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.
