•Analog Phone Line Connector - The term analog phone line refers to a RJ11C or RJ11W compatible (single line) telephone wall plug typically used for a residential phone or facsimile hookup. If you do not have a LAN connection, you can use the analog phone line connector to add postage funds to your meter. If the analog phone line is not close to your DM Series™ system, you can remove the IntelliLink® Control Center from your system and move it to another location. For more information, refer to Connecting Your Control Center to a Remote Ana- log Line in Chapter 6 of this guide.

•External USB Connector - The IntelliLink® Control Center has a con- nector for a USB device. If the PCN number of your IntelliLink ® Control center is one of the ones listed under USB Connector label in the figure below, you must connect an external modem to this USB connector to dial into Pitney Bowes to perform feature updates or add postage. The PCN number is located on the bottom of your IntelliLink® Control Cen- ter.

•IntelliLink® Control Center AC Adapter Receptacle - The receptacle for the AC adapter is located on the back of the IntelliLink® Control Center. If you need to remove the control center from the mailing sys- tem base and move it to an analog telephone line, you plug the AC adapter into this receptacle.
