You can connect  your mailing system to the Pitney Bowes network using 
one of four methods:

Constant (High Speed) Connection - using your organization’s Local 
Area Network and approved connection device.

•

Direct Analog Connection – requiring a direct, constant connection. 
(The phone line comes out of the wall, and plugs in directly to the back 
of the Control Center.)

•

Shared Analog Connection - the phone line comes out of the wall, but 
may be used for a fax machine. The phone line is either detached from 
the fax machine and used for the Pitney Bowes connection, or a splitter 
is installed to facilitate a connection to this shared line.

•

Wireless Analog Connection - using an approved wireless device. (A 
remote receiver is attached at the phone line coming out of the wall, 
and a transmitter is attached to the back of the Control Center. All data 
is transferred without a physical connection of the phone line.)

The United States Postal Service (USPS) also requires, for security rea-
sons, that the meter keys expire after 3-6 years. Meter keys are crypto-
graphic codes that your system uses to protect your funds during printing 
and when connecting to your account.

When the meter keys expire, the system reports that a rekey operation is 
required.

To rekey your meter, perform a refill. This upgrades the keys. If you do not 
perform a refill within three months (90 days) of the rekey message, the 
system locks the meter and does not allow you to print postage.

You may still perform a refill to upgrade the keys and resume operation.

 Please contact your Pitney Bowes account representative to 

determine which connection options are available to you.
