2.10 Configuring the unit to 
access the LAN (KX-MB781 only)
You can print documents, scan documents, receive 
faxes or send faxes using a computer on the LAN. To 
enable these features, you need to set the IP address, 
subnet mask, and default gateway for the unit.
Important:
LConsult your network administrator when setting 
the IP address, subnet mask, and default 
gateway.
2.10.1 Setting up automatically with a 
DHCP server
Your situation:
– When only one unit is connected to the LAN.
If your network administrator manages the network with 
a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, it 
will automatically assign an IP (Internet Protocol) 
address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the unit.
1After connecting the LAN cable to the unit and the 
computer, connect the power cord.
LThe IP address, subnet mask, and default 
gateway will be set automatically.
2Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that 
you want to use it with. See page 22 for details.
Note:
LYou can connect two or more units and assign IP 
addresses automatically with a DHCP server, but we 
recommend assigning static IP addresses manually 
for each unit to avoid unnecessary trouble.
2.10.2 Setting up manually
Your situation:
– When your network administrator does not manage 
the network with a DHCP server.
– When two or more units are connected to the LAN.
You need to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and 
default gateway manually.

network. i {SET}
4Press {MENU} to exit.
5Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that 
you want to use it with. See page 22 for details.
To correct a mistake in the IP address, subnet mask, 
or default gateway
Press {} to move the cursor to the incorrect 
number, and make the correction.
2.10.3 Setting the computer for PC fax 
reception
You need to select the computer that will be used for 
receiving faxes.
1{MENU} i {#}{4}{4}{3} i {SET}
2Press {V} or {^} repeatedly to select the desired 
computer. i {SET}
3Press {MENU} to exit.
Note:
LIf the unit is not connected to the LAN, the computer 
connected to the unit by USB is assigned as the 
computer for PC fax reception.
To change the name of the unit
You can change the name of the unit to be easily 
recognized on the LAN (feature #507 on page 57). This 
feature is useful when two or more units are connected 
to the LAN.
