STEP 4
CONFIGURATION AND ACTIVATION
Set-up the connection to the server, contact the server and activate the Mail'n Ship Station.
In order to load funds, download rates and support your Mail'n Ship Station, you must set up a connection between the Mail'n Ship Station and the
server . This can be done in two different ways:
1. LAN (Standard)
The Mail'n Ship Station communicates with the server over a high-speed internet connection or LAN (Local Area Network).
» This standard method allows for fast, seamless postage rate updates and funds download; and software updates to be performed
remotely and automatically.
» Utilizing LAN connectivity eliminates connection errors when connecting to the server.
» If you choose this method, proceed to Step 4A (pg 6) – Connecting The LAN Cable.
2. Modem (Optional)
If you do not have a high speed internet connection available, the Mail'n Ship Station can communicate with the server using a dial-up
modem connected to an analog telephone line or fax line.
» This method can only be used for postage rate updates and funds download.
» If you choose this method, skip to Step 4B (pg 8) – Connecting The Modem.
