Connection Alternatives

Your mailing system connects to the Pitney Bowes using one of four meth- ods:

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.).

IMPORTANT: Please contact your Pitney Bowes account representative to determine which connection options are available to you.

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.
