Using Analog Phone Line to Establish Communications with the Data Center

If you do not have a Windows PC available with Internet access, you may establish communications to the Pitney Bowes Data Center using an analog phone line. The following are usually analog phone lines:

•Fax lines

•Residential phone lines

•Lines used by modems or credit card readers

Plug the telephone line (supplied) into the connector on the back of the meter (see Chapter 2, Getting to Know Your System). Use a dedicated analog phone line if possible (one that is not shared with other devices) to avoid possible issues.

iNOTE: Postage refills, software upgrades and rates downloads will typically be much faster using an Internet connection.

IMPORTANT:

•Phone systems installed in some businesses are not analog and may damage your system. If you are unsure about your phone line, contact your telephone company or local network administrator.

•If you have a DSL line and want to connect your meter using the analog phone jack on the back for the meter, you should install a DSL filter obtained from your DSL provider before con- necting the meter.

•While the meter is processing a download from the Pitney Bowes Data Center, do not disconnect the analog phone line, USB cable, or power from the meter. Wait until the meter's main screen showing postage and date displays before discon- necting and moving the meter.

•PC Meter Connect™ is a much faster method to perform postage refills and software downloads than using an analog phone con- nection.

•If you want to use the PC Meter Connect™ method of connect- ing to the Data Center, unplug the analog phone line from the back of the machine, then connect the USB cable between your machine and your PC.
