Confidentiality 
The information contained within this manual is proprietary and should only be disclosed to your 
Information Technology (IT) Department or designated network administrator while setting up a 
LAN/Firewall configuration for an Ethernet enabled, DM Series™ Digital Mailing System Meter. This 
manual contains materials and procedures related to the meter’s access to postal meter services provided

Limitations of this Manual 
This manual provides confidential information to support customer efforts to identify and execute a 
LAN/Firewall configuration that best fits the organization’s unique computing environment. All 
recommendations in this guide are based on current industry practices for general security and firewall 
security, but may be superseded as circumstances change the environment associated with your 
organization’s configuration, or with the Pitney Bowes architecture supporting the DM Series™ Digital 
Mailing System Meter. Pitney Bowes will provide notification of changes and associated 
recommendations as changes occur from time to time. However, it is the responsibility of the individual 
organization to secure its own Network to the Pitney Bowes connection. 
 
Guidelines for Support Personnel 
The manual is designed for the technical support person in your organization who is responsible for 
determining how the business will connect the Ethernet enabled meter to your corporate LAN, and set 
up firewall access to the Internet. Because of the multitude of Networks in use by our customers, Pitney 
Bowes cannot provide individual guidance with respect to each organization’s infrastructure 
characteristics. We will however, provide all of the necessary information for each customer to provide 
a secure connection to the Pitney Bowes infrastructure for the services necessary to operate the Ethernet 
enabled meter in your secure Network environment.  Pitney Bowes does have a Customer Support 
hotline for assistance during the process as set forth herein. They can be reached at 800-522-0020.
