A standard (RJ45) network connection on your router (as found in a normal
domestic wired setup) or an active network wall socket.
The technical stuff...
For plug-and-play setup, the connection must use DHCP (automatic configuration), be
open to all HTTPS traffic and must NOT be using a PROXY server.
If you’re unsure about the requirements for LAN connection or you are using a proxy server,
our online LAN guide can help. Go to www.europe.pb.com/docs and enter the code 8026 to

Your franking machine has to connect to the Pitney Bowes Data Centre to add
postage funds, get software updates, and carry out the required Royal Mail
updates for MailMark™.
This connection is made via the internet using your LAN (network). This provides a
constant connection for ease of use and trouble free communications.
As a backup and only if you cannot provide a direct connection to your network,
you can use the free Pitney Bowes PC Meter Connect™ (PCMC) software to
connect via any PC with an internet connection.
If you cannot meet the requirements of either connection method, refer to
Troubleshooting overleaf.
You must also ensure that the franking machine has a constant power supply and
you have space around it to work.
