Your terminal is a new generation machine that will be part of your local network just like a PC. 

Its built-in local network access card will enable you to send documents through an SMTP/POP3 

local message server (internally or externally, depending on the settings of your message server).

To benefit from all the available network options, you should make the following settings, 

described in the sections below:

• local network settings, to introduce your fax machine into your local network,

• message service settings, for all your faxes and E-mails to be automatically managed by

your message server.

Caution - 

Although rather simple, network settings sometimes require a sound knowledge of

your own computer configuration. If that is administrated by anyone in your company, we

recommend you ask that person for the settings described below.

Automatic configuration

We recommend that you carry out a manual configuration of your terminal. The automatic 

configuration of the local network settings may be considered, if your local network features a 

DHCP or BOOTP server that can dynamically assign addresses to the peripheral devices present 

on the LAN.

To automatically configure the local network settings:

M 2531 OK - SETUP / NETWORKS / LOCAL NETWORK / CONFIGURATION

Choose 

AUTOMATIC 

and press OK to confirm. The terminal scans the local network for a

DHCP or BOOTP server that can assign it its settings dynamically (the

message

SELF-CONF 

is displayed).

Once the message

SELF-CONF

 has disappeared, check for the IP Address, Sub-network

mask and Gateway address. If these are missing, you should carry out a manual

configuration (see below).
