LAN Installation Overview
The IS series mailing systems have the ability to connect to both the Postage
Funding Server Credifon and the Online Services Server via a LAN connection
using a standard RJ45 Ethernet patch cable.
When the machine connects to the Postage Funding Server or the Online
Services Server it opens a secure communication over your Internet access
based on SSL protocol via HTTPS on TCP port 443.
Depending on the network installed there are certain things that must be known
prior to installing the system. It is likely that you will want to ask your IT
department to get involved here.
IP addressing:
1. Do you want to let DHCP allocate an IP address to your Franking Machine?
Does the network have a DHCP server that will provide an IP address,
default gateway, and DNS, which will allow access to the Internet?
2. Or do you want to manually assign an IP address from your organization to
the Franking Machine?
You will need to know the settings for IP address, Subnet Mask, Default
Gateway, and DNS server.
Getting Internet access:
The Franking Machine needs to get access via the Internet to:
uk-meterservices.neopost.com
(217.33.60.90) using TCP port 443.
1. Will the Franking Machine be able to get direct access to this from your LAN
once it has an IP address? If yes go to page 3.
2. Or, will someone from your IT/Security teams need to make firewall changes
to permit this? If yes go to page 4.
3. Or, will some Proxy settings need to be applied to the Franking Machine to
allow Internet Access? If yes go to page 5.
