Review

You can connect your mailing system to the Pitney Bowes network using

one of four methods:

• Constant (High Speed) Connection - using your organization’s Local

Area Network and approved connection device.

•Direct Analog Connection – requiring a direct, constant connection.

(The phone line comes out of the wall, and plugs in directly to the back

of the Control Center.)

•Shared Analog Connection - the phone line comes out of the wall, but

may be used for a fax machine. The phone line is either detached from

the fax machine and used for the Pitney Bowes connection, or a splitter

is installed to facilitate a connection to this shared line.

•Wireless Analog Connection - using an approved wireless device. (A

remote receiver is attached at the phone line coming out of the wall,

and a transmitter is attached to the back of the Control Center. All data

is transferred without a physical connection of the phone line.)

USPS Rekey

Requirements The United States Postal Service (USPS) also requires, for security rea-

sons, that the meter keys expire after 3-6 years. Meter keys are crypto-

graphic codes that your system uses to protect your funds during printing

and when connecting to your account.

When the meter keys expire, the system reports that a rekey operation is

required.

To rekey your meter, perform a refill. This upgrades the keys. If you do not

perform a refill within three months (90 days) of the rekey message, the

system locks the meter and does not allow you to print postage.

You may still perform a refill to upgrade the keys and resume operation.

IMPORTANT: Please contact your Pitney Bowes account representative to

determine which connection options are available to you.
