Introduction
Your Communication Device is supplied configured to connect as a plug-and-play
device if your network meets the following criteria:
• uses DHCP
• is open to HTTP and HTTPS trac
• does NOT use a proxy server
If your network meets these criteria, just follow the printed instructions supplied in
the DM50/DM55/DM60 series Installation Guide supplied with your machine.
This section is needed only if your network requires special settings to operate
properly, such as static IPs and proxy server settings. These settings will need
to be added to the Communication Device. You may need the help of your IT
specialist/network administrator to do this.
Follow the instructions exactly in the sequence that follows.
• If you are installing your Franking Machine and have just taken the
Communication Device out of its box, it will be in the factory default state
and you can continue with the steps that follow. If the Communication Device
has been configured and used before, first reset it as described here before
proceeding.
1. Connect the Communication Device
a. Connect the Communication Device to your network as shown.
b. Plug the AC power adapter into
the Communication Device and
a power outlet. The left LED is lit
yellow when it is on.
c. After a short time, check that the
right LED is blinking orange and/
or green.

Setting up a wireless (Wi-Fi) network connection
Introduction
The Communication Device can be setup for wireless usage, enabling you to move
your Franking Machine to any location that is within the range of a wireless access
point on your network.
You should have a working knowledge of your wireless network in order to
complete the setup successfully. Follow the steps below. If at any point you are not
certain how to proceed, consult with your IT specialist/network administrator.
Before setting up the Communication Device for wireless operation:
• Have the name (i.e., SSID) and password (i.e., key) available for your wireless
network/router. The SSID may be printed on the bottom of your wireless router.
• Find out if any special settings are necessary to install a new device on your
wireless network, such as static IPs, proxy servers or non-standard wireless
network settings.
• Ensure the Wireless USB Plug-in is installed in one of the USB ports in the
Communication Device (see illustration).
• Be sure a wireless access point (transmitter) is
close enough to the location of your Franking
Machine to have good signal strength.
• Determine if your network supports Wi-Fi
Protected Setup.
You can do this by checking your router documentation or looking on the router
to see if it has a button labelled “WPS” or the symbol
If it supports WPS, you may choose to follow the instructions “Wi-Fi Protected
Setup” later in this guide instead of performing the standard Wi-Fi setup
instructions on the following pages.
USB Plug-in
• If you are installing your Franking Machine and have just taken the
Communication Device out of its box, it will be in the factory default state and
you can continue with the steps below. If the Communication Device has been

Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Introduction
The Communication Device can be setup for wireless usage, enabling you to move
your Franking Machine to any location that is within the range of a wireless access
point on your network.
If your network/router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you may choose to
follow these instructions instead of performing the standard Wi-Fi setup instructions
described previously in this guide. WPS is a method used to set up wireless
communication among devices without having to manually enter long passphrases.
You can determine if your router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup by checking your
router documentation or looking on the router to see if it has a button labelled
“WPS” or the symbol
Before setting up the Communication Device for Wi-Fi Protected
operation:
• Make sure that your router is set to one of the following: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK or
[AES]/WPA2-PSK [TKIP]. WEP or “None” cannot be used.
• Ensure the Wireless USB Plug-in is installed in one
of the USB ports in the Communication Device
(see illustration).
• Be sure a wireless access point (transmitter) is close enough to the location of
your Franking Machine to have good signal strength.
• If you are installing your Franking Machine and have just taken the
Communication Device out of its box, it will be in the factory default state
and you can continue with the steps that follow. If the Communication Device
has been configured and used before, first reset it as described here before
proceeding.
1. Prepare the Communication Device
a. Connect the AC power adapter to the Communication Device.
b. Wait about 30 seconds for the Orange LED to light, then press the Reset Button.
When the LED lights green, release the button.
c. Wait another 45 seconds for the Communication Device to complete its startup
routine. When the LED is blinking in a regular pattern (typically Orange, Green,
Orange, Green, Pause), continue with step 2 below.
2. WPS Setup Procedure
a. Put your wireless router into its WPS state (refer to its operation guide).
b. Press and hold down the Reset Button on the Communication Device for 15
seconds, then release the button. The LED flashes rapidly.
c. The random flashing continues for about a minute. When the LED stops flashing
rapidly, unplug the AC power adapter from the Communication Device and then
connect it again.
d. Wait another 45 seconds for the Communication Device to complete its startup
routine.
If the LED blinks orange only (if not connected to the Franking Machine) or
blinks green only (if connected to the Franking Machine), you have successfully
set up the Communication Device to run wirelessly.
If the rapid flashing lasts more than a minute then WPS has failed. Repeat Steps
1 and 2 on this page again.
e. Connect the Franking Machine and Communication Device using the supplied
USB cable.
