Using an Analog Phone Line to Establish
Communications with the Data Center
If you do not have Internet access available, you may establish
communications to the Pitney Bowes Data Center using an analog
phone line. The following use analog phone lines:
•
Analog Fax lines
• Residential phone lines (land line)
•
Analog credit card readers
Plug the telephone line (supplied) into the con nec tor on the back of
the machine (see Chapter 2, Getting to Know Your System). Use a
dedicated analog phone line if possible (one that is not shared with
other devices) to avoid possible issues.
IMPORTANT:
•
Phone systems installed in some businesses are not analog
and may damage your system. If you are unsure about your
phone line, contact your telephone company or local network
administrator.
• If you have a DSL line and want to connect your machine using
the analog phone jack on the back of the machine, you should
install a DSL filter obtained from your DSL provider before
connecting the system.
• While the system is processing a download from the Pitney
Bowes Data Center, do not disconnect the analog phone line,
USB cable, or power from the machine. Wait until the system's
main screen showing postage and date displays before
disconnecting and moving the machine.
• PC Meter Connect™ and Constant Connection are much faster
methods to perform postage refills and system downloads than
using an analog phone connection.
• If you want to use the PC Meter Connect ™ method of
connecting to the Data Center, unplug the analog phone line
from the back of the machine, then connect the USB cable
between your machine and your PC.
