About Constant Connection (LAN Network)
[DM125 and DM225]
Constant Connection is an option that allows you to connect your
DM125 or DM225 machine to the Pitney Bowes Data Center via a LAN
network that has Internet access. Constant Connection’s high-speed
connectivity eliminates the need for an analog line and provides faster
transmission speed when connecting through your local network.
To use, plug one end of the Ethernet cable (supplied) to your Internet
LAN network port and the other end to the USB adapter which plugs
into the USB port on the back of the machine (see also Chapter 6,
Adding Postage). You may leave this connected on a permanent
basis; hence the name "constant connection".
About PC Meter Connect™ Desktop Application
PC Meter Connect is another high-speed connectivity option that elimi-
nates the need for an analog line. Similar to Constant Connection, PC
Meter Connect
™
enables your mailing machine to connect to the Inter-
net but it does so via a Windows PC having an Internet connection.
You simply download the PC Meter Connect™ software from the Pit-
ney Bowes website (see page v), install it onto a PC with an internet
connection (broadband, DSL, network, etc.), and connect a USB ca-
ble between your mailing machine and the PC. See Appendix A - PC
Meter Connect™ Desktop Application for more information.

software, make sure your

tems with the latest service packs (Mac OS is not supported).
