1 - Introduction
The PostBase meter needs a connection to the Francotyp-Postalia Infrastructure
in order that it can download funds and data. It is recommended that an Ethernet
(LAN) connection is used for this. This is the type usually used to connect
computers to the Internet, both at work and in the home (e.g. using DSL).
If necessary the meter can also use a modem connection - that is the older, slower
method over the telephone. Modem connections are, however, only intended for
those users cannot use an Ethernet connection since they are much slower and
offer a more restricted service. This document gives you details on setting the
meter up to use these communication methods.
FP can also supply a WIFI adapter for your PostBase. If you have
purchased the WIFI adapter then please refer to the
WIFI Configuration
Guide
before continuing the PostBase installation.
